Tribal Public Health Conference 2019

``Strength In Community, Power In Connection``
A 7th Generation and Southern Plains Tribal Health Board Collaboration

Conference Starts in:

Join us for the Tribal Public Health Conference 2019 (TPHC19)

2019 will be another special year as the Southern Plains Tribal Health Board and the 7th Generation Conference will again join together for another amazing event. At TPHC19, you will be presented with a host of tribal health and public health informational-related topics. We encourage you to be active participants and come eager to learn and interact with the many sponsors, partners, and talented speakers that are participating in next year's conference.

What's New and What To Look for at This Year's Conference?

The primary focus of our conference committee’s work is to assist the Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas communities to gain knowledge, sharpen their skills, and to enhance local advocacy efforts. Our 2019 theme reflects our vision for advancing health and the necessity for us as a community to cooperate, contribute, and stand united as one. Where there is STRENGTH IN COMMUNITY, there is POWER IN CONNECTION!

Through advocacy work, partnerships, data, and listening & learning from tribal leaders and communities, we will be bringing important issues to the table as well as speakers and presenters with the knowledge to empower us.

Our goal is that you will leave with fresh ideas, new friends, more partnerships, and increased opportunities; most importantly, we want you to have fun!

Who Should Attend?

The conference is open to everyone, however the TPHC19 Planning Committee encourages participation from Tribal Elders, tribal partners, health organizations (tribal, IHS, urban, state), clinicians and public health professionals, healthcare administration, elective tribal leaders, students, mental health, Healthy Living grantees, Turning Point coalitions, donors, legislators, and Tribal Education professionals.

Guests may call our Reservations Department directly at 888-748-3731 (toll free). In order to obtain the group’s special group rate of $93.00 based on single or double occupancy the guests need to identify themselves as being with 11th Annual Tribal Public Health Conference. All rates are subject to six percent (6%) resort fee.

Individual cancellations inside 72 hours of arrival shall forfeit any room deposit (if applicable), or be billed for one night’s room and resort fee.

Payment of room and resort fee for the guest’s scheduled arrival date on “no show” reservations will be forfeited and the room will be released to house allocation.
