The Nevada Statewide Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Coalition is set to host its highly anticipated Fall Symposium: Camp Homegrown—a day devoted to nurturing Nevada’s families from roots to resilience. Scheduled for Thursday, September 4, 2025, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., this immersive event offers a hybrid experience, welcoming both in-person attendees at Renown, 10315 Professional Circle, Reno, NV and virtual participants statewide.

Camp Homegrown isn’t just a symposium—it’s an invitation to gather around the shared values of equity, community support, and holistic well-being. Families, providers, advocates, and health leaders will converge to explore actionable strategies that promote thriving outcomes for mothers, children, and communities across Nevada.

It’s more than a symposium—it’s a movement to build healthier futures, rooted in connection and uplifted by community voice.
