Heartland Conference on Health Equity & Patient-Centered Care

With the recognition of the critical roles patient, community and team-informed science plays in health research, mechanisms to promote, facilitate and reward team and community engaged science are emerging. Diverse teams of collaborating scholars and meaningful inclusion of patients, providers, community members and other key stakeholders in decision-making is sorely needed to address research challenges and advance health improvement for all.

With this conference, we would like to explore the rich interplay of community and university together, with the thought that the strength of our community may determine meaningful research priorities and relevant programs and providers.

The Heartland Conference on Health Equity and Patient Centered Care highlights community - academic partnerships and encourages open discussion among academic health centers, community health workers, faith-based community, and community-based service organizations.

​Participants will engage with other regional health researchers, community-based organizations, and public health professionals to address health equity in our communities and region.
