Public Speaking Engagements

On behalf of The Tara Hansen Foundation, Ryan Hansen has spoken at numerous events across the country. From an intimate Q&A at a group luncheon to auditoriums with more than 300 people, Ryan has had the opportunity to enlighten and educate the public and physicians to the state of maternal health and mortality in the US.

As a pioneer of the maternal health movement in the US, Ryan started THF in the spring of 2012, one year after the passing of his wife Tara. Since then his speaking engagements include:
