The EJH Summit brings together environmental justice and healthcare advocates, leaders, and community members to collaborate on strategies that directly impact OUR communities. This year’s theme emphasizes empowerment, resilience, and reclaiming agency over our health and environment. Through targeted breakout sessions, attendees will gain practical tools and knowledge to strengthen community resilience and prepare for the unexpected.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to connect, learn, and return to your community with actionable resources. Mark your calendar and be part of this experience that centers the voices and needs of those too often overlooked.

EJH Lightning Talks

Lightning Talks are short presentations that focus on key points related to a subject matter. Done well, they are a great way to get your point across in a short amount of time. These talks will highlight community-driven solutions addressing environmental injustice and healthcare disparities, showcasing initiatives in research, programming, and policy. Participants will have opportunities for education and open discussions on recent findings in environmental health, healthcare equity, climate, and energy use. We especially invite early career professionals and students to submit posters for Lightning Talks.
