Testimonials

"I wanted to let you know that I received great feedback on our keynote speaker, Casey O’Brien, at MSHP’s 2022 Midyear Clinical Meeting. Casey was able to understand and connect with the audience which consisted of health-system pharmacists and pharmacy students. During his days in the hospital, Casey got to know and understand the role of the health-system pharmacists. Casey noted the importance that the relationship between himself, the patient, and the pharmacist played during his stays in the hospital. It was a very moving presentation, and Casey’s positive attitude provided the audience with ways to deal with adversity. I received the following comment from one of our members: “I just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed the conference. The keynote was fantastic! One of the best we have had, I think.” The audience truly enjoyed and benefited from Casey’s presentation." - Marcy Peterson, Minnesota Society of Health-System Pharmacists

There wasn’t a dry eye, and he fired everyone up for a week of selfless and purposeful giving.

"We had Casey speak for our annual convention in 2020. Casey's message was everything we needed to hear and ironically came just one month before the Covid-19 pandemic hit. His positive attitude and will to never give up were uplifting and inspiring for our entire audience. He made you think about life in general and about how little things we find difficult to do are nothing to sweat about. Casey received a well deserved standing ovation from our audience and stayed afterward to speak to all who wanted at the convention. I would recommend Casey over and over again."
