Invite us to speak at a regional APHON meeting

We’ve keynoted multiple nursing conferences, as well as grand rounds and for all team (or even all hospital) meetings.

“The Zach's Bridge presentation was the highlight of our resiliency retreat. Their story was the perfect balance of heartfelt personal experience, meaningful education, and hope. The impact on our staff was immediate and lasting, with many team members identifying it as their favorite part of the retreat. Zach's Bridge is an invaluable resource for families, and we are grateful for the partnership and support they provide to our community.”

Jennifer Vergillo, BSN, RN, CPN

Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, Children's Hospital Colorado

" We had the honor of hosting Zach's Bridge as the keynote speaker for the Metro MN APHON Conference. Hearing Jon and Jenn's perspective as parents navigating the loss of a child will help reframe the way I care for patients and families as they walk through devastating diagnoses and end of life. It is amazing to know organizations like Zach's Bridge exist and can bridge the gap to support other families, long after their loved ones have passed."

"I walked into the conference thinking about clinical updates, but I left thinking about Zach. Hearing the lessons he left behind was a beautiful reminder that even the shortest lives can be our loudest teachers. It’s a session I’ll carry in my heart and into my nursing practice for a long time."
