Welcome to RISE Healthy Communities Summit 
Formerly The RISE Summit on SDoH
Same Mission. Bigger Vision. New Name.

What started as The RISE Summit on SDoH has evolved into a broader, more inclusive movement—RISE Healthy Communities Summit. Since this event's inception, RISE has united health care, government, and community-based organizations to tackle the social drivers of health and build lasting change.

While our name has changed, everything you value stays the same.

You can still expect:

✅ Actionable, tactical content focused on solving real-world SDoH challenges
✅ A speaking faculty of 70+ industry changemakers sharing tools to implement at your organization
✅ A cross-sector audience of 350+ professionals eager to collaborate and scale their impact
✅ All-inclusive registration—covering pre-conference workshops, sessions, and all meals

Now more than ever, we’re doubling down on our commitment to help you achieve whole-person health. The path is steep—shifting policies, funding constraints, deep-rooted inequities—but together, we’ll keep moving forward.


Join us in 2026 as we continue this journey—smarter, stronger, and more united than ever.
