President Bill Clinton announced the program and featured attendees for the Clinton Foundation’s second annual Health Matters: Activating Wellness in Every Generation Conference slated for next week in La Quinta.

Health Matters precedes the Humana Challenge PGA TOUR event, in partnership with the William J. Clinton Foundation, formerly the Bob Hope Classic. The conference highlights the tournament’s commitment to health and well-being, and builds on the work of the Clinton Foundation, which has a mission to improve global health, strengthen economies, protect the environment, and promote healthier childhoods and health and wellness.
