The 2021 Conference Planning Committee, comprised of St. Louis area physicians, community leaders, providers, and advocates for the improvement of health within the black community, has planned a comprehensive conference central to St. Louis communities, and the region.
The Elevate Conference derives from a vision for an annual “elevate” theme designed to support, empower, inform, and create a “Call to Action” for the St. Louis community, region, and beyond. The 2021 conference represents the ongoing and persistent health issues that plague our communities who face insurmountable challenges with access to health care, education, resources, and an overall sense of hopelessness, complacency, and acceptance of living with HIV-AIDS, diabetes, hypertension, and many, many, more health challenges, for which our community has the highest indicators.
