OVERVIEW
> Download the 2012 Global Summit Flyer
In response to the overwhelmingly positive feedback about its inaugural event, The Catholic Health Association is offering a second ministry-wide Global Summit to address Catholic health care's activities and opportunities in the developing world. It is a must-attend event for those who support the international activities of any health care organization, especially those persons with roles in surplus materials management, formative immersion trips, medical brigades and more.
The 2012 Global Summit is June 5, in Philadelphia, at the Philadelphia Downtown Marriott hotel. Tying into the 2012 Catholic Health Assembly theme of Leadership for Healing, the Summit, through a day-long event that will dovetail programming offered as part of the assembly, will engage leaders around topics including:
- The Theological Imperative of Quality in International Outreach.
- The U.S. Global Health Initiative.
- Medical Surplus Recovery and Redistribution – Leading Practices
- New Tools for Assessing Medical Surplus Recovery Organizations (MSROs).
- Current International Initiatives by CHA-Member Organizations.
- An Update on the Campaign for Rebirth and Renewal in Haiti.
Overall, this conference showcases opportunities to enhance the impact of international outreach and the innovative work of the Catholic health ministry to relieve human suffering worldwide — with an emphasis on increasing the quality of the surplus recovery process and our partners in this work. It also allows those leading this work ample opportunity to network and learn about what other Catholic health care organizations are doing.
