Health Equity Working Group (HEWG)
2026 Working Group
Keystone Symposia’s Health Equity Working Group (HEWG) helps to shape our programming that showcases how scientists are bringing molecular, cellular, and genetic approaches to bear on health equity research and outcomes. Comprised of scientific experts whose research involves personalized medicine and patient-centered strategies, the HEWG complements and expands upon the expertise on our Scientific Advisory Board. The Working Group advises on topics within our conference portfolio that are priorities to showcase health equity issues and recommends health equity thought leaders to consider as speakers and panelists.
