Health Care for the Homeless

I'm at the Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) conference in Phoenix AZ. I'm learning a lot and doing some fantastic networking but all of this excitement gets me hyped up and gives me all kinds of energy which I would really like to get out in a run but I'm meeting co-workers for dinner at 6:30 and it's currently 5:55.

Last year was the first time that I came to this conference. At the time, I had been at my job for just under six months and I was incredibly overwhelmed by the conference. It made me realize how little I really knew about the homelessness world even after a half year of working in the field. This year has been a completely different experience; I can read through the list of sessions and know what they all mean, I'm seeing people that I know and people who I have emailed back and fourth with, and I have interesting and provoking questions to add to the conversations. There are still moments that make me feel like I know nothing at all but they are few and far between.

I can't wait to get back and apply what I'm learning to my work... and go for a run.
