ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The Culture of Health Conference is New Jersey’s largest annual convening of state and local public health leaders, practitioners, and changemakers. At the heart of the conference lies our calling toward achieving health equity, the principle that all community members should be provided a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest level of health, while ensuring that systemic barriers and disparities are addressed. Our shared aim for New Jersey is to create a vibrant place where all people and communities thrive, and where a person’s zip code no longer predicts their ability to live a healthy life.
This year’s conference will be an interactive experience allowing for intentional connection and relationship-building. The sessions will be designed to spark creativity and drive collective action to maximize community impact. Attendees will engage with content, speakers, and fellow participants through engaging breakout sessions, empowering keynotes, and vibrant networking opportunities. By the end of the conference, attendees will walk away with practical solutions for advancing health equity within their respective spheres of influence and communities.
The conference will spotlight topics related to the systems that play a critical role in building thriving communities, acting as social drivers where people live, work, learn, worship, and play. These systems include:
- Food Access
- Healthcare
- Behavioral Health
- Education
- Neighborhood & Physical Environment
- Safety & Social Connectedness
- Economic Stability
