Keynote by Roy Wade, Jr., MD, PhD, MPH, MSHP: To inspire the unconference we are fortunate to have Dr. Roy Wade joining us to deliver an inspiring keynote talk. Dr. Wade is a Stoneleigh Fellow, LDI Fellow, a general pediatrician at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Cobbs Creek Primary Care, and an instructor of pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Wade is also an expert on trauma in pediatric care. This keynote talk will begin promptly at 2:00 p.m.

An unconference is defined as: A loosely structured, participant driven, conference emphasizing the informal exchange of information and ideas between participants, rather than following a conventionally structured program of events. The agenda and breakout sessions are created by the participants on the spot at the beginning of the unconference.  Hadley Ferguson, Executive Director of EdCamp, located in Philadelphia , a leader in organizing unconferences for educators across the country, will join us to help facilitate the SWCWC Unconference. 

This unconference is a unique opportunity to enhance the focus on the Southwest community. Participants will establish the agenda, action items and desired outcomes for the Southwest Children’s Wellness Collaborative.
