Research studies show that people who are involved in a faith-based community lead healthier lives. They believe their lives have more meaning. They cope better with stress. They experience less depression and anxiety, and they experience greater well-being.
Recognizing the connection between health and spirituality, many hospitals are partnering with neighboring religious organizations to improve health outcomes. The Healthy Community Partnership grew out of relationships that Johns Hopkins Bayview established with a number of area congregations. These partnerships support initiatives that improve access to medical care, offer educational programs on health topics that impact the community, equip individuals and groups with health resources, and address health care disparities.
One of the major programs of the Healthy Community Partnership is its annual symposium. Called the William S. Perper National Healthy Community Partnership Symposium, this day-long event brings together health care providers and members of faith-based communities to discuss health care delivery and empower specific populations to maintain their health, independence and dignity.
This year’s keynote speaker is Harold G. Koenig, M.D., M.H.Sc., a nationally recognized expert on the topic of religion and spirituality. All are welcome to attend. Registration details are below.
