CCHF Annual Conference

Health Care for the Underserved

This year's conference, May 18-21 at Eastern College in Philadelphia, will address the theme of Spiritual Inheritance for the Next Generation. Convinced that investing in equipping the next generation is capacity building at its best, the theme will be reciprocally important for veteran, new, and emerging Christian health care professionals. Plenary Speakers will include:
  • Christine Sines, M.D. Physician, professor and author who faithfully assists churches and Christian organizations to engage the challenges of the 21st century.
  • David Hilfiker, M.D. Physician, activist and author who has committed his life to social justice in the practice of his professions and living among the poor.
  • Kenneth Robinson, M.D. Pastor, physician, and Commissioner for the Tennessee Dept. of Health whose passion is holistic and comprehensive approaches to public health and individual well-being.
  • Ruth Naomi Floyd, Christian jazz recording artist, will serenade the group in a special evening of coffee house jazz on Friday evening.
