New knowledge. New skills. Proven ideas. This meeting will be fresh and nourishing!

Participate in a fusion of community health, community benefit, and healthy communities.

ACHI's March 4-5, 2010 Spring Training Conference at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront will deliver educational content and substantive peer networking across these three vitally important and related topic tracks.

Join us to examine evidence-based community health programs, effective ways to work "upstream" on the determinants of health, and how the non-profit hospital sector can work smarter and more effectively in fulfilling its community benefit accountabilities.

Plus, the 2010 national conference will be more hands-on practical and offer more interaction than ever, with Breakouts and Skill-building Sessions, Idea Exchange time periods, and a melting pot of different community health views and approaches.

Conference participants are the decision makers and program managers in hospitals and other health care providers, healthy communities groups, public health, philanthropy, academia, and more.

The ACHI 2010 Spring Training Conference will offer a blend of session formats that engage participants in different ways of learning, acquiring new tools and skills, and creating relationships that support your quest for professional growth and performance improvement.
