We deliver programs, and lunch too. Lunch and Learn programs are held at your practice site or any location convenient for you. Because they are shorter presentations, they can be given over the lunch hour, breakfast hour, or dinner hour, you name it. These abbreviated programs do not offer continuing education credit, but they do offer valuable information that will benefit your practice and your patients. Plus, we’ll provide the food, so you won’t need to skip a meal to hear about the latest in cardiovascular care.


Most topics found in the All Topics tab can be structured as a Lunch and Learn presentation. To schedule a presentation, please contact the Outreach Office at 717-531-1424 or at HVIoutreach@hmc.psu.edu.
