Join us in beautiful Orlando, Florida, for the 2026 Annual Conference of the Consortium of Hospital-Affiliated Colleges & Universities (CHACU), hosted by AdventHealth University. This three-day gathering brings together academic leaders, healthcare educators, administrators, clinicians, and mission-driven professionals from across the nation to strengthen partnerships, exchange innovative ideas, and reimagine the future of mission-based healthcare education.
The 2026 conference features dynamic plenary speakers, mission-centered devotionals, multiple breakout tracks, a concurrent session from the Call for Abstracts, and opportunities for meaningful collaboration across our network. Explore topics including academic innovation, clinical partnerships, student success and retention, accreditation and quality, whole person integration, and institutional leadership.
We invite you to engage with colleagues, strengthen institutional partnerships, and be inspired by the mission that connects all CHACU institutions—uniting healthcare, education, and Christian service. Don’t miss this chance to learn, collaborate, and experience the hospitality of AdventHealth University.
Why not extend your travels? We’d like to share with all of our CHACU attendees and their guests the opportunity to purchase Disney tickets at a special rate. The available tickets are one day, one park, and are valid for use through the end of April 2026. Details will be included in your registration email.
