Tracks/Themes
Program content will focus on four key areas of interest overlap:
1. Clinical Primary Care
2. Prevention and
Public Health
3. Health Disparities & Underserved Populations
4. Best Science, Best Practice

There will be 3 tracks, each targeting a different level of “health for all” in America:
1) the individual patient (clinical / behavioral health care)
2) the community (creating healthier communities and partnering with communities to create healthier individuals and families)
3) the state & nation (health policy and big-picture public health)
Topics will cover all stages of the human life-cycle, including pre-natal, infant/child health, men’s and women’s adult health, and geriatric health, and will cover the full spectrum of medical / behavioral / mental health conditions and issues. We have a special series of topics focusing on maternal / perinatal health & women’s health, since this conference now incorporates the prestigious HeLa conference in its various tracks.
