2025 Health Equity and Lifestyle Project (HELP) Conference

2025 Health Equity and Lifestyle Project (HELP) Conference is organized by The Plantrician Project, Healthy Heart Nation (HHN) and will be held from Oct 10 - 12, 2025 at Wyndham Grand Jupiter At Harbourside Place, Jupiter, Florida, United States of America.

Description:
The HELP Conference is a three-day in-person conference hosted in partnership between The Plantrician Project and Healthy Heart Nation. The conference is designed to explore the critical relationship between social determinants of health, health disparities and the role of evidence-based, lifestyle medicine as a critical and underutilized tool in addressing health disparities and reversing the chronic disease burden trend.

Understanding that where we live, work, play, pray and eat all play a role in positive health outcomes, the HELP conference will bring together a diverse group of clinical experts and researchers to discuss the relationship between stress and food insecurities on health disparities.  

The HELP conference will also converge national leaders in business, faith sector, education, hospital administration, etc. to discuss the role of each sector in building the health of the community. We invite you to come join this conference and be a part of a viable and sustained solution to improve health outcomes.

The conference will:

• Show how diet-related disparities mirror the increased proportion of cardiovascular disease in at-risk populations
• Serve as the seed bed for nationally recognized programs that dramatically improve healthy food access and health in marginalized communities
• Support the creation of seminal research demonstrating the positive impact of lifestyle medicine in reversing the trend of chronic disease and health inequity
• Increase awareness and understanding of the health crisis in marginalized communities nationally and internationally
• Create thoughtful and culturally relevant tools and resources to help leaders empower their communities
• Connect key leaders to collaboratively work on reproducible solutions through shared knowledge and resources
• Train the next generation of HBCU healthcare profession faculty, students, and leaders by equipping them with solutions that prioritize health equity and disease reversal and prevention
• Unite leaders from medicine, business, faith-based, government, education, and the community to cultivate and build impactful relationships.
