The conference will be chaired by Warren Heppolette, Executive Lead, Strategy & System Development, GMHSCP.  Jon Rouse, Chief Officer, GMHSCP will offer personal and professional perspectives about how faith can promote health and wellbeing.  There will be religious leaders from a range of faiths in attendance and shaping this collaborative venture.
