YMCA Culture of Health Conference
This year’s theme, “Belonging For A Better Us,” underscores the importance of inclusion, empathy, and shared purpose in shaping the future of public and community health. The event will bring together leaders from health care, education, philanthropy, business, and community-based organizations to advance dialogue and action around health and opportunity for all.
The conference will feature Dr. Gail C. Christopher, a nationally recognized leader in health and social change, as keynote speaker. Dr. Christopher serves as executive director of the National Collaborative for Health Equity and formerly served as senior advisor and vice president at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, where she led the America Healing initiative and launched the Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation movement.
Nearly 20 breakout sessions will engage participants in conversations and activities aligned with the Seven Vital Conditions for Well-Being, a framework popularized by the Rippel Foundation that helps conceptualize the factors influencing health and thriving communities.
Topics will range from accessible transportation and community-based solutions for food security to YMCA housing initiatives and wraparound care that strengthen families and neighborhoods.
Registration and sponsorship opportunities for the 2025 conference are now open at https://www.njymca.org/culture-of-health. More information is available by sending an email to: [email protected].
