Welcome to the Governor's Health Conference 2007
A Message from Governor Chet Culver
About the Event
This premier conference, held every two years, has grown since its inception in 1997. Barn raising at Drake University has become an event where participants can learn across disciplines and programs, where communities connect with other communities, and where ideas are generated to continue making Iowa a great place to live, to work, and to be renewed.
The agenda cuts through traditionally professional boundaries with a mix of plenary and concurrent sessions, training, and networking opportunities. Up to 14 presentations will be available online with others posted later.
Join local, state, and national experts at a two-day conference, Celebrating Healthy Communities, organized and funded by 79 partners.
Conference Objectives
1. Share community successes.
2. Develop strategies for strengthening the public health system.
3. Recognize and respond to new forces shaping healthy communities.
