SUMMARY:2024 Hatch Lecture & Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Join Us for the 2024 Hatch Lecture & Symposium\nTuesday\, December 3\, 2024\nWinston-Salem\, NC \nThe Faith COMPASS Center at the Wake Forest University School of Divinity is excited to inform you about the upcoming Ninth Annual John W. Hatch Lecture & Symposium taking place on Tuesday\, December 3\, 2024! \nThe theme for the 2024 Hatch Lecture & Symposium is “Activating Change: Health Justice in the 21st Century.” Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) have become more prominent in our everyday lives\, but how is it affecting the integrity of faith communities? Although technology is being used to optimize health and medical care\, how can its use contribute to the reduction of health disparities and inequities? And how can faith communities and health systems work together to achieve health justice? The conversations and collaborations from this year’s gathering will shape a “Just Health Manifesto” that will activate initiatives for inclusive health equity and foster critical collaborations for social justice. \nThe 2024 Hatch Lecture & Symposium will take place at the Benson University Center\, 2120 Eure Road\, on the campus of Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem\, North Carolina\, as well as streaming online. \nRegister Today!
