This has been a tough spell for a lot of people; there are more homeless, uninsured and unemployed people who need healthcare. Churches and parachurch organizations are making every effort to meet the wholistic health needs of people, even though many of their budgets have been hit by decreased donations. We are a people of faith who go deeper with God during tough times and we find ways to network and learn from each other - and pray for and with each other. This is a great time for a conference.

The 2010 Urban Health Conference, September 17-18, 2010 at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California (http://healthcaremissions.org) is dedicated to inspiring, empowering and educating the workers of the urban health missional movement. The conference focuses on issues dealing with the theology of urban missions, gang violence, incarceration, parish nursing, avoiding professional burn-out, living among the poor, providing emotional and physical care for the homelessness, programs that successfully deal with drug-dependency, common disease profiles in the urban population, front office and back office management of curative medical practice dedicated to the poor, church-based health screenings and health fairs.

The conference features 15 great inspirational speakers and committed exhibitors who help connect to people to venues of service where they are needed.
