Caring Community Conference Update
and
Announcement of the
Healthcare and Bioscience Council of Northeast Florida
April 29, 2008, 12:00 - 1:30 pm
at the UNF University Center
On April 29, 2008, community leaders gathered at the University of North Florida for the Caring Community Conference Update, to hear an update report on the progress that has been made since the Caring Community Conference.
The CARING COMMUNITY CONFERENCE was held September 26 – 28, 2007, at Amelia Island, Florida. Over 100 community leaders from medicine, health care, education, business, and research convened for the three day conference. Leaders met to discuss northeast Florida’s health issues, identify healthcare, medical, and bioscience assets, and make recommendations to enhance the individual and economic health of the region. Twelve Final Recommendations resulted. Participants agreed that the essential next step would be to form a Healthcare and Bioscience Council to further study and begin to implement the recommendations. A Steering Committee was created to begin the process of forming the Healthcare and Bioscience Council. For more complete text and video of the Caring Community Conference, click here.
The Caring Community Conference has generated a great deal of community interest in improving the individual and economic health of northeast Florida. The Center was pleased to host the Caring Community Conference Update on April 29, 2008, to share with the community the work that has been accomplished in the post-conference months, including the work of the Steering Committee to form the Healthcare and Bioscience Council.
The formation of the Healthcare and Bioscience Council was the No. 1 priority and “essential next step” resulting from the Caring Community Conference. Founding members of that Council were announced at the Update. Council members include: Susan Black, Carl Cannon, Mike Cascone, Yank Coble, Luther Coggin, Marshall Criser, T. O’Neal Douglas, Lawrence DuBow, Hugh Greene, Bob Harmon, Preston Haskell, Adam Herbert, Mac McGriff, Carol Thompson, Floyd Willis, Jim Winston, Art Wotiz.
