HealthVisions Midwest of Fort Wayne is holding its fourth annual ReThinking Health Breakfast, a powerful gathering of community leaders, advocates, and changemakers committed to advancing health equity. This year's luncheon, themed "Overcoming Barriers to Wellness," will shine a light on the challenges facing under-resourced communities and the collective solutions that can drive real change. 

The event will feature an inspiring keynote by Mike Stone, a seasoned consultant, educator, and author, who will share his personal journey of preserverance and professional insights for overcoming adversity. You will also hear moving stories from individuals in our community who have broken through barriers to achieve wellness and stability.

We are proud to once again present the Dignity Award, recognizing a local champion who has made significant contributions to improving community health in Fort Wayne. Learn more about the Dignity Award and nominations below.

A curated silent auction will showcase local photographers' work centered around the theme over "overcoming" in Allen County. 

Whether you are a healthcare professional, community leader, or someone passionate about wellness for all, ReThinking Health offers meaningful conversation, inspiration, and the chance to be part of a healthier, more equitable future.
