The McMaster Health Forum regularly hosts and contributes to events to support learning about ways to address pressing health- and social-system issues. Join one of our events, which include:
- 'Top Ten' webinars, featuring insights into health and social systems, evidence-informed policymaking and a range of key health issues, from Forum experts and influential health-system leaders and researchers from around the world
- student events focused on engaging McMaster University students in learning, discussion and collective action on healthcare challenges
- Forum experts contributing to events hosted by other organizations with an interest in supporting evidence-informed health- and social-systems
We historically led a series of optimal aging public talks, which are archived here. We now support the McMaster Institute for Research on Aging in promoting their public talks.
