Following presentations at the Lambeth Conference 2008, a proposal for an Anglican Health Network began to gain widespread interest. Meeting in Houston in January 2009, a range of Episcopal and Anglican representatives explored elements of potential collaboration in the hospital systems in the United States, India and Middle East. With the support of the Anglican Communion Office, Revd Paul Holley and Mr. Lee Hogan made presentations at the Anglican Consultative Council meeting in May 2009. The Council accepted a motion to welcome the development of an Anglican Health Network. The inaugural meeting took place on the 15th and 16th June in Geneva to organise the development of the network.
