Event Details
Building a Culture of Health: Where Health Happens in Every Setting is an engaging exploratory summit designed to identify solutions and establish partnerships that foster health and wellness. We all know the access and choices that allow for healthy lifestyles are much better in some parts of our community than others. Yet, achieving AHA’s “culture of health” vision means all residents will live, work, play and pray in an environment where the healthy choice is the default choice and health happens every place – not just in a medical setting.
This transformation will reduce disparities in lifespan and increase the quality of health span for all residents. So the day’s attendees will come from an array of industries including community, educational, corporate, faith-based, healthcare and government. The event features a networking and hands-on problem solving exchange that allows participants to share ideas, best practices, wish lists and challenges with the goal of establishing new linkages by day’s end.
AHA will also recognize 2016-17 program partners currently engaged in building a culture of health. Our goal is to facilitate partnerships, support and expand existing coalition projects, and serve as a “backbone” organization for community impact efforts.
