SURPRISE, Ariz. (Nov. 9, 2026) — Sun Health, a West Valley health and well-being nonprofit, announced its second annual LiveWell Conference, bringing thought leaders, health experts, partners, and community members on one campus to learn about longevity and wellness. The Conference is scheduled for Friday, November 20 at Midwestern University, 19555 N. 59th Ave., Glendale, AZ 85308.
To extend the conference’s impact across the Valley, the organization is providing attendance scholarships to students enrolled in nursing programs. Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) credits will also be available at no additional cost to eligible attendees, creating greater opportunities to gain valuable insights and explore important topics that can shape personal and professional futures.
“The future is now, and Sun Health is proud to help lead the way,” said Chief Engagement Officer at Sun Health, Nora Hannah. “The LiveWell Conference is one means of thoughtfully investing in the health and well-being of our communities while empowering the next generation of healthcare leaders. By expanding access to education, meaningful conversations and leading expertise, we’re playing an active role in helping shape a healthier future for all.”
The Conference will feature Dr. Kerry Burnight, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life’s Second Half and nationally recognized gerontologist as this year’s keynote speaker. With top subject matter experts, Sun Health plans to provide presentations, workshops and panels on a range of health and wellness topics to help attendees realize what it means to “Live Well.”
“Aging is not synonymous with decline, so we shouldn’t be afraid of it,” said Dr. Kerry Burnight. “With the right perspective and resources, the second half of your life can be your most beautiful or fulfilling – and I’m so glad the LiveWell Conference is gathering us together to discuss how and why that might be.”
The event is open to the public, with added value for adults age 40+ and nursing students. Registration is open now and more information is available at www.livewellconference.org.
