About

Health & Human Services Week 2026: Health Without Borders - Connecting People, Professions, and Places

Held annually in the spring, Health and Human Services Week is a weeklong series of events designed to inspire, educate, and promote health and wellness in our community and beyond by providing lectures, engaging discussion, and a circuit of regional organizations.

Facilitated through faculty, staff, students, and community partners, events draw participants from across the southeast to immerse themselves in conversations around topics such as maternal health.

CHHS's Health and Human Services Week is generously sponsored by Novant Health.
