Dear Unitek Learning Community,
 
We are thrilled to invite you to be a part of an incredible opportunity at the 9th Annual Unitek Learning Cares Academic Conference on Friday, September 13th! As valued members of the Unitek community, your presence will bring unique perspectives to this transformative event.
 
This year’s conference, themed "Cultivating Healthier Futures: Education, Innovation & Equity,” promises to be a dynamic exploration of the future of healthcare. From the comfort of your own space, you can join us virtually between 8 am and 5 pm Pacific time for a day filled with insightful discussions and forward-thinking strategies. Imagine diving into conversations that shape the very future of healthcare and education, and learning from experts who are at the forefront of innovation.
 
This is a chance to enhance your knowledge, network with leaders, and contribute to meaningful dialogue on creating sustainable healthcare solutions. We believe your voice is crucial in these discussions, and we hope your schedule allows you to join us.
 
Please share this with others in the Unitek community and to colleagues and friends that would find this interesting outside of Unitek as well. This is a free event for anyone who wants to attend. This is also an opportunity to earn contact hours or professional development hours as well.
