Welcome

The inaugural Maya Angelou International Women's Health Summit, scheduled for September 27-29 2012, seeks to create connectivity across the world to discuss and advance shared interests and concerns about women's health.

Sponsored by the Maya Angelou Center for Women's Health and Wellness, this solution-driven annual conference will create conversations about contemporary issues affecting  women's and girl's health. National and international participants plan to spend two and one-half days in dialogue, planning and networking in response to keynote and panel presentations.

Expert speakers in the fields of healthcare design, health sciences, health policy, law, social policy, education, sociology, and others will identify and critically analyze best practices and new strategies to globally enhance women's health. In addition to the knowledge-sharing and networking, the Summit offers CME (Continuing Medical Education) and ANCC (American Nurses Credentialing Center) credits.

The intended audience is a diverse group of key leaders, healthcare professionals and participants from around the globe. The annual Summit is a multi-national collaboration through a network of selected women's colleges and other institutions of higher learning.
