Center for Community Health Empowerment and Learning (HEAL)
We are working together to improve health outcomes across Purdue and beyond through a cross-disciplinary approach that enables Purdue to leverage its unique assets to address health disparities.
Our Mission
Our mission is to leverage Purdue University's rich tapestry of public health expertise and resources through collaborative efforts which will support local health departments, enhance local public health capacity, and elevate community health outcomes.
Our vision is to enable Purdue to become a collaborative, transformational, and interdisciplinary leader in Health Equity by leveraging its unique assets to address health disparities and improve health outcomes across Indiana and beyond.
2026 Annual Health Empowerment Summit
Our annual Summit serves as a collaborative space for academics, industry leaders, and community partners with a shared interest in advancing health. While each year’s theme shifts to address a distinct area of focus, we consistently provide a forum for sharing knowledge and having a dialogue that shapes the direction of our collective work. This year, we turn our attention to emerging health technologies. Along with our keynote guests, Robert Califf and Seema Verma, the program will include three speaker panels and the launch of The Purdue Pitch Engine Competition. Please refer to our flyer for registration information and feel free to share amongst your networks. We look forward to seeing you there!
