Description

In honor of our visionary leader, the late Dr. David E. Rivers, we are excited to invite you to the 14th National Conference on Health Disparities on September 8-9th in Charleston, SC. Dr. Rivers led the planning and execution of the National Conference on Health Disparities for nearly two decades, which provided a national dialogue to share progress in building healthy communities from 2007 through 2021. The Conference grew under his leadership and sharpened its focus on the role of social determinants of health, including the impacts of environmental justice, poverty, educational attainment, housing quality, public safety, as well as mental health, substance use, and human trafficking as public health issues. Building on previous NCHDs, which have identified specific areas of concern, including the social determinants of health, the upcoming conference program will focus on the work that has led us here. An ode to Dr. David E. River's lifelong legacy. While the 14th NCHD will be scaled back from previous conferences due in part to the ongoing pandemic, it will continue its important work in such areas as: Social Determinants of Health, including poverty, environmental stressors, educational attainment, housing and air and water quality, Climate Change and Catastrophic Weather Events, Mental Health.
