Community Health Conversations bring together students, community members, researchers, healthcare professionals, nonprofit leaders, policymakers, and other partners to explore the issues that shape health in our communities.
Through a year-long series, IACH creates opportunities for meaningful dialogue, shared learning, and collaborative problem-solving around the social, environmental, economic, and policy factors that influence health. Through panel discussions, workshops, community events, and our annual Community Health Forum, we aim to connect diverse perspectives, strengthen partnerships, and inspire action that improves community well-being.
2026–2027 Theme: Building Socially Connected Communities
This year’s series explores how strong relationships, trusted partnerships, and community engagement contribute to healthier communities. Conversations will examine topics such as social connection, neighborhood belonging, civic participation, workforce development, access to opportunity, and other factors that strengthen community well-being.
