Call for Proposals

Each year, the Heartland Conference convenes representatives from community, academic, industry, public, and private sectors across Region VII (Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska) to share best practices, celebrate successes, foster networking, and learn from one another.
​
This year, we are excited to announce the theme of the 16th Heartland Conference: Connecting the Dots: Bridging Urban and Rural Health Equity. We aim to highlight the connective tissue between rural and urban communities in the Heartland, exploring innovative approaches to overcoming challenges and building more inclusive and resilient health systems.

We invite you to submit a proposal to present your work, expertise, and best practices. Whether you are addressing health disparities, innovative solutions, community-based initiatives, policy strategies, or research findings, we encourage submissions that explore how we can learn from each other and collaborate to bridge gaps in health equity.

​Spanish Language Track
The Heartland Conference welcomes workshop sessions presented in Spanish. If you'd like to offer your session in Spanish, please include a Spanish Title and Description on the last page of the submission form.
