Center for Modern Health speakers are available to share insights on health policy, medicine, and the broader social and economic questions that shape American healthcare. Our speakers engage these issues from a perspective grounded in individual freedom, open inquiry, and practical experience. We are happy to connect with journalists, podcasters, and student organizations for informal conversations related to recently published work and topics of public interest. These kinds of discussions are an important part of our educational mission, and we welcome opportunities to contribute.

For formal presentations, conferences, and events hosted by for-profit organizations, CMH offers speakers on a fee basis. We can tailor talks to fit the needs of your audience, whether you are looking for an overview of health policy trends or a deep dive into a specific issue.

If you would like to invite a CMH speaker, please contact us and we will be glad to discuss availability and format. For formal engagements, we will provide our information sheet with price details. Write to: info@centerformodernhealth.org.
