The Center on Health Disparities at Adventist Healthcare in partnership with Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services is hosting their 4th Annual Health Disparities Conference "Social Determinants of Health: The Role of Healthcare in Leading Social Change in Local Communities". The conference will be held on November 3rd at the Universities of Shady Grove in Rockville, MD.
Adventist has provided the following description:
"The 2010 Center on Health Disparities conference will provide the opportunity for community stakeholders from different sectors to learn about health disparities and the influence of environmental, social, financial, and political factors on one's health. Conference sessions will explore how social determinants of health affect the health of people and communities and what community leaders and partners can do to address these determinants. In the end, leaders, professionals, and community members will be able to network with participants from multiple sectors and build cooperative relationships to improve quality of life and promote health equity locally"
We encourage the AAHI community to attend this event. This conference provides a wonderful platform for the discussion of health disparities and the impact on health. Registration is now open at this link:
