The 2nd Annual Women Veterans Health Summit returns on April 6, 2026, in West Chester, Pennsylvania, offering a comprehensive full-day conference from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM dedicated to addressing the multifaceted health and wellness needs of women veterans. Building on the success of its inaugural year, this growing women veterans conference has expanded its programming to provide even deeper coverage of the critical topics affecting female veterans across all stages of post-service life.
This vital veterans wellness conference recognizes that women veterans face unique healthcare challenges that are often overlooked within the broader veterans health system. From gender-specific medical needs and military sexual trauma support to mental health resources, financial empowerment, and housing assistance, the summit brings together experts, advocates, and service providers committed to ensuring women veterans receive comprehensive, culturally competent care and support.
The day's agenda features expert panel discussions, interactive workshops, and resource exhibitions covering women's health and preventive care, mental health and trauma-informed treatment, financial literacy and benefits navigation, housing stability and emergency assistance, career transition and entrepreneurship, and peer support network development. Nationally recognized speakers from VA leadership, nonprofit organizations, and women veteran advocacy groups will deliver keynote addresses highlighting progress and persistent challenges.
Participants will have dedicated time to connect with service providers, explore available benefits they may not be utilizing, and engage with fellow women veterans in a supportive, empowering environment. The summit's resource fair features dozens of organizations offering free services specifically designed for women veterans, allowing attendees to make meaningful connections that can significantly improve their quality of life.
West Chester, Pennsylvania's location in the greater Philadelphia region makes the summit accessible to the large women veteran population throughout southeastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. Women veterans traveling from greater distances will find nearby accommodations and a welcoming host community deeply appreciative of their service.
The 2nd Annual Women Veterans Health Summit is free to attend for all women veterans. Registration is required as seating is limited. Light breakfast, lunch, and refreshments will be provided. All women who have served in any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces are encouraged to attend this important community gathering and first responders conference.
