A community health conference built around real conversations.
The My City My Health Conference brings together community members, advocates, healthcare professionals, public health leaders, and organizations to explore the issues shaping health, wellbeing, access, and community life.
Because real conversations change things.
Most health conferences are built for professionals. The My City My Health Conference is built for the community. We believe the most important health conversations happen when people closest to the issues are in the room — not just sitting in the audience, but driving the discussion.
The conference exists to create that environment: one that is educational, honest, practical, culturally grounded, and driven by lived experience.
"The conference is where the community conversation comes alive."
Every year, attendees walk away with new information, new connections, and — most importantly — a stronger sense that their health story matters and their community is paying attention.
Built for the whole community.
