Celebrating Discovery • Driving Innovation • Transforming Health
Celebrate Research! 2026 is a month-long celebration hosted by Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Advocate Health to showcase groundbreaking research and innovation across the Advocate Health enterprise. Throughout April, faculty, staff, and learners from every corner of our system will highlight discoveries that are transforming healthcare and pushing the boundaries of medicine.
The month includes research presentations, panel discussions, facility tours, poster sessions, faculty awards, and more—all designed to foster collaboration, spark new ideas, and demonstrate the power of interdisciplinary partnerships and cross-enterprise solutions.
Events span five themed weeks ranging from pediatrics, cancer, imaging, cardiovascular innovation, precision medicine, maternal and child health, addiction science, neurological health, and additional enterprise-wide research efforts.
Together, these sessions connect local expertise to global impact, driving discovery, advancing healthcare, and shaping the future of health.
