We’re excited to welcome Deaconess as the presenting sponsor of Austin Peay State University’s inaugural Health and Performance Summit!

With Deaconess Jennie Stuart located just across the state line in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, and serving patients throughout the Clarksville-Hopkinsville region, this partnership reflects the regional connections at the heart of this event.

Deaconess’ support is crucial to bringing the caliber of expertise this summit was built to deliver. On Oct. 17, we’ll welcome presenters whose experience spans professional sports, Olympic training, the MLB, NBA, and Premier League.
We’re grateful to Deaconess for investing in this inaugural event and helping us bring this level of professional development to Clarksville.

GO Weekend was all about getting connected! Our CoBHS Connect Lunch brought new Govs together with faculty, staff and fellow students for a chance to grab lunch, meet people in their programs, find their place on campus, and explore student organizations to learn how to get involved outside the classroom.

We’re glad you’re here!
