14th Annual Health Equity Symposium - 2026

The 14th Annual Health Equity Symposium will be held June 30 - July 1 in Chicago. This event brings together doctors, community leaders, researchers, and workforce partners to talk about how we can make healthcare and career opportunities more fair for everyone.

This year’s theme is InSync: Building Communities of Resources. We will focus on how people not only get access to care and opportunities, but also how they can grow, succeed, and stay supported over time.

On Day One, we will talk about healthcare systems, clinical trials, and how communities and providers can work better together. Speakers and panelists will discuss barriers people face, like lack of access and trust, and share ideas that are working in real communities. Small group sessions will give attendees a chance to talk through problems and solutions together.

On Day Two, we will focus on jobs, mentorship, and career pathways. There will be a career fair with support for resumes and interviews, along with a panel on how to help students and early-career professionals move into strong careers in healthcare and STEM fields.

This symposium is about learning from each other, building partnerships, and taking real steps to improve health and opportunity in our communities.
