Celebrating a Decade of Dedication!
The 10th Annual National Summit on the Social Drivers of Health
November 9-11, 2025 in Washington, DC
We are thrilled to announce that the 2025 National Summit on the Social Drivers of Health will be held November 9-11, 2025, in Washington, DC. This year’s summit is particularly special as we celebrate our 10th anniversary, marking a decade of collective action toward health equity.
The Root Cause Coalition’s annual National Summit brings together representatives from health systems, hospital associations, foundations, businesses, national and community nonprofits, health insurers, academic institutions and policy centers to share best practices. To finally achieve health equity we must work together, across sectors of service, to address systemic racism and the social drivers of health.
Known as the premier convening for all those working toward health equity, the National Summit brings together key stakeholders from health systems, hospital associations, foundations, businesses, national and community nonprofits, health insurers, academic institutions, local governments and policy centers to share best practices.
The 2025 National Summit will be held November 9-11, 2025, in Washington, DC. Our goal at the National Summit is to facilitate collaboration between and highlight the incredible work being done across the country by every type of organization working to achieve health equity. As such, the agenda reflects the cross-sector nature of our work and focuses on demonstrable, scalable, innovative ideas and programs and discussions with national health equity experts.
