Deena and the YSPOR team (Yukon Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research) have been hard at work here at the campus! We are excited to welcome you to the 5-Year YSPOR Health Summit Gathering, taking place November 3 & 4 (Tuesday & Wednesday) at Äłät Nëhëjël - TH Community Hall.

This year marks a special milestone for YSPOR, celebrating five years of bringing people together to share knowledge, building relationships, supporting wellness, and strengthening health and wellbeing across the Yukon.

Our theme this year is Connection; connection to community, to one another, to culture, to wellness, and to the work that inspires positive change.

Over the two-day gathering, we’ll come together to reflect on the journey so far, celebrate the relationships and partnerships that have helped shape YSPOR, and look ahead to the future. We’re excited to offer another meaningful lineup of speakers, conversations, learning opportunities, and wellness activities.

Whether you’ve been part of the YSPOR community from the beginning or are joining us for the first time, we look forward to connecting with you and celebrating this milestone together.
