CFHA's 12th Annual Conference

Remaking National Healthcare -
Collaborative Care for a Healthier America

October 21-23, 2010

The Seelbach Hilton Hotel

500 Fourth Street

Louisville, Kentucky USA

The theme of CFHA's 2010 Conference is "Remaking National Healthcare - Collaborative Care for a Healthier America." The world is watching as the United States works its' political process toward healthcare reform in the hope of a system that will bring quality healthcare to more Americans. Where is collaborative care in the context of current reform efforts? What other policy and financial reforms would make a collaborative and family-centered healthcare model more viable in real-world settings? As researchers, educators, providers and advocates of collaborative care, it is important for us to know the latest research and practice models -- to know the implications for these models on healthcare reform efforts and to know what we can do to advance collaborative practices systemically.

Louisville is a gem of a city, the 16th largest in the US and host to this year's conference. We encourage you to check out Louisville by visiting www.gotolouisville.com and the conference venue - the beautiful and historic Seelbach Hilton Hotel at http://www.seelbachhilton.com/.  The 2010 CFHA Conference room rate is $130 per night.

The CFHA Conference is for medical and mental health providers and administrators including physicians, nurses, other clinicians, psychologists, teachers, researchers, and administrators who seek collaborative solutions to the complex challenges of patient care. Individuals and organizations interested in innovative and cost effective strategies for integrating behavioral health and medical health care delivery, improving patient outcomes, professional networking and provider training are encouraged to attend.

Networking Opportunities

One of the greatest benefits of the CFHA Annual Conference is to stimulate thinking and share ideas about best practices in collaborative family healthcare.
