The Third Annual Health Conference presents the theme “Your Health Thrives in Community,” exploring how meaningful relationships and supportive environments contribute to whole-person health. April 24-26, 2026.

In a time when the loneliness epidemic in America is increasingly recognized as a major public health concern, this conference will examine the powerful role that connection plays in strengthening physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Our speakers will address topics such as social connection and emotional resilience, nutrition and lifestyle habits, the paradox of social media, and practical ways to cultivate healthier communities and relationships.

Participants will gain valuable insights from health professionals and experienced presenters who will share research-based knowledge, practical tools, and strategies to promote lasting wellness.

All conference sessions are free to attend; however, registration is required to help us plan seating, materials, and meals. A healthy lunch will be provided on Saturday for registered participants.

The weekend will also include a Sunday 5K Walk, encouraging attendees to enjoy physical activity together while continuing to build community.

Registration is available for both the conference and the children’s program, allowing families to participate while younger attendees enjoy engaging, age-appropriate activities at https://www.sapreventivehealth.org

Join us for a meaningful weekend of learning, encouragement, and connection as we discover together how health truly thrives in community.

Mega Corazón will be formatted as a playlist of individual poems in an extended 24-hour loop, featuring 19 poets and over 100 poems. URBAN-15 anticipates a global viewership of over 2,000 individuals around the globe, helping to propel Mega Corazón’s mission to provide free and easy access to local poetic voices for poetry lovers worldwide.

The 2026 Mega Corazón Poets Are:
Amalia Ortiz, Andrea “Vocab” Sanderson, Anthony “The Poet” Flores, Carmen Tafolla, Don Mathis, Eddie Vega, Eduardo Garza, Frances Treviño Santos, Jennifer Yañez-Alaniz, Jessica Tilton “Tiltonica”, Jim LaVilla-Havelin, John Phillip Santos, Johnny Rivers “Space Dragon”, Marisol Cortez, Naomi Shihab Nye, Natalia Treviño, Octavio Quintanilla, Rohn Bayes, Tomas Roque
