March 3-5, 2005 -- Hyatt Regency -- Tampa, Florida
Overview
Join us for the flagship 2005 educational and networking event of the community health, healthy communities and community benefit fields nationally. Community Health Solutions is the second joint conference of the Association for Community Health Improvement and Communities Joined in Action.
Our goal is to offer the highest quality educational and networking event for community health and healthy communities professionals - one where you learn as much from fellow attendees as from formal presenters.
Participate in this conference to learn and interact with peers in a variety of settings, including:
Community Health Solutions will offer sessions in five topic tracks of critical relevance to your work today. Keynote sessions and concurrent educational sessions will highlight national and local best practices with real results and lessons to share in each area:
- Maximizing Access to Care
- Eliminating Health Disparities
- Building Effective Coalitions
- Promoting Healthy Policy
- Delivering Results and Demonstrating Sustainability
Participate in this conference and you will be in a community of teachers and learners, one where interaction among all participants blurs the distinction between presenter and audience.
Participate in this conference and you will:
- bring home practical strategies and tactics you can use
- build bridges with peers in health care, healthy communities, public health and philanthropy
- engage and grow in sessions where everyone can participate
- gain skills and insights with national experts and capable peers
- exchange ideas and experiences to help you develop new perspectives and approaches
Community Health Solutions is for people working in community health, healthy communities and community benefit.
- Community health: Access to care, disparities in health status, prevention of chronic diseases and measurable improvements in population health are some of the themes this conference will address.
- Healthy communities: Numerous sessions will step back to look at the social determinants of health and the ways in which we create - through partnerships and policies - the conditions in which people can be healthy.
- Community benefit: Health care organizations' community benefit activities relate to accessibility, quality and cost of the community's health system, as well as to community health and well being. Several sessions will cover these subjects, and the conference will feature a Community Benefit Intensive Workshop sponsored by VHA and the Catholic Health Association.
