Equity & Action
We bring a strengths-based approach that is grounded in people, insight, experts, co-creation and impact.
Our strengths-based approach is built upon:
Listening, Assessing, Co-Designing, Implementing, Measuring, and Refining
One Strategic Speaker Program
Clinical expertise does not always translate into clear, effective communication. Speaker programs require more than scientific accuracy—they demand presenters who can engage audiences, translate complex science into practice, and move providers from information to action while confidently navigating complex provider questions.
APPROACH
- Developed Veeva-approved speaker decks, narratives, and messaging frameworks
- Delivered structured speaker training focused on clarity, flow, and practical application
- Prepared speakers to navigate shared decision-making conversations and clinical nuance
- Created discussion guides, facilitation prompts, and transition strategies to strengthen delivery
- Reinforced compliance guardrails and message discipline across all materials and training
KEY RESULTS
- 20+ clinicians and experts trained for high-visibility engagements
- 100+ plenaries, workshops, and virtual learning sessions supported across national conferences and leadership forums
- 2,500+ prescribers and other healthcare providers reached across engagements
- Speakers consistently delivered content that was accurate, relevant, and designed for practical clinical conversations
THE EIS DIFFERENCE
EIS bridges scientific rigor and real-world communication, ensuring speakers can deliver content that is scientifically accurate, engaging, and actionable.
What It Takes to Make PrEP Work: Translating Strategy Into Scalable, Real-World Practice
Awareness alone is not enough to drive PrEP use. Expanding uptake, adherence, and reengagement depends on practical implementation strategies—especially in communities most affected by HIV. EIS designed national workshops to explore how aPrEP is implemented, scaled, and sustained in practice.
APPROACH
- Designed expert-led panels focused on PrEP implementation, scaling, and persistence
- Curated a diverse panel of clinical, pharmacy, and community leaders to reflect multiple perspectives on implementation
- Ensured alignment with Veeva-approved, unbranded content and compliance guardrails, maintaining an educational, non-promotional environment
KEY RESULTS
- Engaged 300+ participants at national conference workshops
- Captured 30+ real-time audience inputs via live discussion, reflecting strong engagement and participation
- Developed a replicable workshop model to support ongoing PrEP education and workforce engagement
THE EIS DIFFERENCE
EIS transforms traditional panels into facilitated strategy exchanges, combining scientific grounding, expert facilitation, and applied insight to generate practical, decision-relevant approaches to PrEP implementation.

Having a trusted partner with whom you can step back has been huge!

Client Review
“I was new to the Director position, we were in survival crisis mode with responding to COVID, and we experienced high staff turnover. Those challenges delayed the teamwide strategic planning work I had intended as a way to build alignment, relationships, and trust. EIS brought a wealth of direct experience and had previously worked with health departments on HIV, STI, and hepatitis programs. Working with them to update the vision, mission, and values was the jump-off place for us to do some strategic planning work which we're continuing. We specifically highly- valued the focus on health equity and racial justice because that has been a core value of our program and we needed that perspective for our strategic planning. The process took longer because we had this huge staff who wanted to be involved, and it created incredible alignment. There was so much feedback, which in some ways, created enormous consensus. So, it really has been a great partnership!”
