We are excited to announce that the 2nd Annual HEAL (Hepatitis, Equity, Advocacy, Leadership) Summit, previously known as the Annual Hepatitis Conference, will be taking place on November 7, 2026 in collaboration with the Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine APAMSA chapter!
Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine has partnered with APAMSA to bring you a day full of HEALing.
APAMSA members and non-members are all welcome to register and attend.
Welcome to the 2nd Annual APAMSA Heal Summit!
Each year, we strive to collectively engage in the global fight against liver diseases, including hepatitis B and C, and to raise awareness about health disparities and their impact within the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) population.
The objectives of the conference are to raise awareness about the impact of liver diseases on the AANHPI community, to encourage future health care providers to advocate for policy changes to address various health disparities that the AANHPI community face, to provide opportunities for current health profession students to network with prominent leaders in AANHPI healthcare and to provide a venue for students to present their research on topics related to GI/hepatology, oncology, mental health, advocacy, and more!
Where: Rocky Vista University Colorado Campus – Auditorium 2, 8401 S. Chambers Road, Parker, CO 80134
