April 24th & 25th, 2025
Colorado Public Health Association
Thursday April 24, 2025 8:45am - 10:00am MDT
This session will spotlight how diverse fields—spanning environmental health, maternal and child health, education, and food security—converge to address the social determinants of health and advance equity.

Our 3 panelists, representing a range of sectors including community organizations, academia, public health, and state/local government, will share insights on:

The interconnected roles of education, food systems, environmental health, and maternal and child health in shaping community well-being.

How cross-sector collaboration can amplify efforts to address structural inequities and improve health outcomes.

Real-world examples of data integration and sharing across disciplines to create actionable solutions for health justice.

This session will provide attendees with a deeper understanding of how interdisciplinary partnerships can dismantle systemic barriers and leverage community assets to create a healthier, more equitable future. Be inspired by innovative strategies and frameworks that set the tone for meaningful action throughout the conference.
