2026 Health Equity and Public Good Conference

Rooted in community. Driven by health equity. Focused on transformation. 

Join the Washington State University Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine for this impactful two-day virtual gathering centered on a shared commitment to strive for optimal health for all.  

Our seventh-annual conference will gather voices from across Washington state and beyond to ignite dialogue, deepen understanding, and drive action toward a more just and compassionate health system. 

We believe in the power of partnerships across divides of geography, profession, and experience to advance health equity not as a distant ideal, but as a shared public good.  

We invite community members, leaders, learners, and clinicians to join us for a series of powerful plenary sessions, community-rooted breakout presentations, and dynamic conversations for meaningful change.  

This conference is free and open to all.   

Please note that all sessions will be held live and will not be recorded or made available for later viewing.
