NEW! Downloadable, detailed conference agenda with session dates/times.

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.

Come hear keynote speaker Tyler Norris - healthy communities leader, and community health and community benefit advisor to many national and local initiatives - share his informed perspective and unique vision for advancing our collective impact in a time of great change.

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.

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