Thanks, Patrice, we’ll add it!

I would love to suggest an event for the calendar — the Schweitzer Leadership Conference: Building Healthier Communities in Cambridge, MA on November 3, 2012. It’s a terrific opportunity for emerging & established professionals to learn from leaders who are shaping the way we think, talk, and act when it comes to health equity, health care, social change, and public policy.

Conference blocks will include Innovative Models of Care Delivery in the Age of Health Reform; Advocacy: Using Your Voice for Change; Prioritizing Prevention to Build Healthier Communities; and Philanthropic Support as a Catalyst for Community Change.

The conference is hosted by The Albert Schweitzer Fellowship (ASF), a nonprofit organization that trains graduate students to create change and improve health in underserved communities. More information is available at http://www.schweitzerfellowship.org/conference.

Thanks again!
