NEW in 2026! We’re excited to have you take part in a special EHE Conference service project in which we have partnered with Northeastern University’s Bouvé College of Health Sciences (our local academic-practice partner) to support the VA Boston Healthcare System. This is a simple, powerful way to come together and be intentional about remembering our why, give back with the purpose of helping/improving the well-being of others, and make a real impact during our time at EHE.
More information coming soon.
