Note: The event is a two-day public meeting. If you plan on attending February 6 and 7, please register for both days. Due to venue restrictions, we are not able to offer a virtual option for February 7, but a recording will later be available.
The objectives of this meeting are to:
- Highlight the Culture of Health Program’s efforts over the past decade, supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
- Explore the underlying factors driving health disparities, emphasizing the importance of understanding how interconnected social systems shape opportunities and influence health outcomes across various communities.
- Provide a space for dialogue and deep discussion on how to transform policy, practice, and research with a focus on root causes of comparatively poor health outcomes for specific groups
- Inspire attendees with a hopeful message to encourage collaborative partnerships in support of the principles and priorities of NAM’s Culture of Health Program, fostering a sense of commitment to collaborative change.
- Provide a space to reflect and uplift the cultures and traditions of different population groups.
The NAM Culture of Health Program is a multiyear collaborative effort to deepen understanding, mobilize evidence, and identify strategies to create and sustain conditions that support equitable good health for everyone in America.
