Day 1: The seventh annual Community Health Forum brings together numerous community partners from healthcare, academia and non-profit organizations to discuss progress and future goals for community health. This year’s conference, scheduled for Thursday, March 7, 2024, will focus on maternal health in South Carolina and is hosted by Furman University’s Institute for the Advancement of Community Health.
