	Change in Focus Why is the conference so different this year? The West Coast Healthcare Missions and Ministry Conference had been engaged in planning for a combined March 2011 conference with the Korean American Medical Health Conference in Irvine CA. Unexpectedly KAMHC changed their planning so that they would host a conference in New Yorkk in 2012, this left us without a partner. The time frame for planning a September conference was very limited. CCHF, thankfully, was willing to work with us on this September conference. Together we felt God's leading to plan for an urban conference - inviting the best local speakers. We are planning for a full 2011 conference, similar to the 2009 conference, with both local and global perspectives. We will continue to closely work with CCHF and hope to be expanding our conference programs to incorporate miniconference in the Western region. We also will be in partnership with the Center for the Study of Health In Missions a group dedicated to Best Practices in health mission.
