Why This Year's Meeting Matters
2026 has been a pivotal year for health policy in Kentucky. From changes to Medicaid and SNAP under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to ongoing conversations about food access, housing, and economic security across the Commonwealth, the stakes for Kentucky families have never been higher. KVH has been on the ground through it all — briefing school professionals and Family Resource and Youth Services Centers, hosting the ThriveKY Roadshow across the state, and pushing for policies that protect access to affordable, quality healthcare.
The Annual Meeting is where we connect the dots on all of that work — and where your voice helps shape what comes next.
Who Should Attend
Health advocates, consumers, community leaders, policymakers, public employees, nonprofit organization staff, frontline service providers, outreach workers, educators, researchers, faith leaders, and others who serve their communities.
Special pricing on registration for kynectors, CHWs, and students. CEUs will be available for CCHWs and Social Workers, as well as professionals who can self-report hours.
Registration

A Note of Thanks
None of the progress we’ve made this year would be possible without the advocates, partners, and supporters who show up for Kentucky’s health — in statehouse hallways, in community centers, and right here in this coalition. We’re grateful for you, and we can’t wait to celebrate the year together on December 8th.
