About this Event

This year’s theme, “Healthy Women, Healthy Communities Across the Lifespan", focuses on women’s health across all ages and every life stage. Symposium panels will explore changes in health across the reproductive, perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopausal stages; chronic disease throughout the lifespan; and a population health discussion on current issues in women’s health.

The conference will be held in Murphy Auditorium on the NYU Langone Health campus, located at 550 First Avenue, New York City. Virtual participation will also be available through Zoom. Separate Zoom Registration is required.

This year's event features a thoughtfully created menu, with unique, nutrition-forward foods designed to nourish, energize, and inspire wellness. Breakfast and coffee will be available beginning at 8:00am, with lunch provided, wellness sessions, and a poster session and reception from 3:30-5:00pm.

The NYU Langone Healthy Communities Symposium is sponsored by the NYU Clinical and Translational Science Institute, in collaboration with the NYU Grossman School of Medicine's Department of Population Health, Office of Professional Development, and Institute for Excellence in Health Equity.
