THE 5TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE WAS A VIRTUAL SUCCESS!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s event.
This year’s conference was held on Thursday, September 24, 2020 and was a little different in light of these unprecedented times. The KYACHW designed the 2020 conference with your well-being and self-care in mind as a virtual conference, live from the Embassy Suites in Lexington.
Conference topics ranged from the Kentucky Department for Public Health Heart Disease and Stroke Program, the BOUNCE Coalition-ACES and Self Care, Motivational Interviewing and a CHW Panel discussion on COVID-19 and how it has affected the CHW community during this pandemic. As always, we are committed to providing you with professional benefits in order to help you better serve your clients and improve your organization.
