As part of the Arizona Rural Women’s Health Network’s work promoting policies, services, and practices that improve the health of Arizona women, we are hosting our first annual Women’s Health Symposium to recognize and share best practices from organizations serving women in rural Arizona. This conference is both a chance to commemorate National Women’s Health Week with meaningful professional development and networking, as well as an opportunity to support and experience the community of Prescott. Please join us for information, resources, and discussions on how to understand and serve women’s health needs in our rural communities.

Accommodations

The Women’s Health Symposium will be held at the Prescott Resort in Prescott Arizona, and accommodations are provided at the Prescott Holiday Inn and the Hampton Inn, properties that are next-door to each other and just 3 miles away from the event location. A complimentary shuttle will be provided to help participants travel between the hotels and the Prescott Resort.

To reserve a room at the Holiday Inn or the Hampton, please call 928-445-8900 and explain you are with the Women’s Health Symposium group to receive the event rate of $89.00 per night. Rooms are limited, so be sure to reserve your accommodations as soon as possible!

If you are unable to stay at the Holiday Inn or Hampton Inn, there are two nearby locations to consider. Please note, these hotels are not affiliated with the symposium, and there is no event rate. Additionally, participants will be responsible for their own transportation to the event location, as the shuttle will only pick up from the Holiday Inn.
