Past Forums
HIP Community Forums from previous years
In the spirit of promoting collaboration, HIP strives to bring together its network of partners and the wider Santa Cruz Community with nationally renowned speakers and experts. The Annual Community Forum is an opportunity for Santa Cruz, as a whole, to engage with experts in high level ideas, policies, legislation in regard to health care. This event is held every year with topics ranging from legislative health care reform to social determinants of health. The event offers a unique chance for the larger community to hear how HIP is working to improve the lives of our community.
