Call for conference proposals - Health for All 2010 - deadline 11/6

Dear Service-Learning Colleagues,

The deadline is quickly approaching for submitting a proposal for
Community-Campus Partnerships for Health's 5th annual conference,

Health for All in 2010: Confirming Our Commitment ~ Taking Action
May 5 - May 8, 2001 in San Antonio, Texas ~ Westin Riverwalk Hotel

Proposals are due on 11/6

January 2000 marked the launch of the Healthy People 2010 Objectives for
the Nation, which set the nation's public health goals for the next
decade: to increase quality and years of healthy life; and to eliminate
health disparities that are associated with race, ethnicity, and
socioeconomic status.  Achieving these goals will require community
partnerships that involve ordinary citizens, grass roots organizations,
community agencies, hospitals and health systems, businesses, government,
philanthropy and other partners.

Our 5th anniversary conference seeks to demonstrate the contribution that
community-campus partnerships can make to promoting health, reducing
health disparities and improving quality of life.  Although our focus as
an organization is on community-campus partnerships that involve health
professional education, our 5th annual conference seeks to engage our
colleagues across higher education as a whole to confirm our collective
commitment to Health for All in 2010.

We expect more than 500 conference participants, including representatives
of community agencies, government, foundations, health care delivery
organizations, and leaders from educational institutions (i.e. academic
administrators, faculty, staff and students).  

Among the major themes to be discussed are promoting health for all
through access to education
through teaching and learning (ie, service-learning)
through research (ie, community-based participatory research)
through broad-based community partnerships 
through policy and advocacy
as employers
as campuses
