THRIVE Conference
May 8, 2024 | UCT Pavilion, Keystone Centre | Brandon, MB
WELCOME TO THRIVE
Welcome to the Thrive Conference, a revitalizing half-day event dedicated to supporting and inspiring our regional healthcare workers. In these challenging times, it’s easy to lose sight of the passion and motivation that originally drew many to the field of healthcare. Thrive is designed to reignite that spark and provide a supportive environment for professionals navigating the complexities of today’s healthcare landscape.
Join us for an enriching afternoon featuring dynamic keynote speakers who will share insights on overcoming the obstacles faced in healthcare, rediscovering your professional passion, and fostering a positive and resilient work culture within your team. Our resource booths will offer valuable tools and information, while ample networking opportunities will allow you to connect with peers and build a supportive community.
In addition to benefiting from expert advice and networking, your participation helps a greater cause. All proceeds from Thrive will support our current capital campaign for the new critical care building. Funds raised will be directed towards essential equipment and infrastructure needs, ensuring that our healthcare facilities continue to provide top-notch care to those in need.
