Community Spotlight

The point of Community Spotlight is to highlight the work of leaders who are committed to helping create an environment that not only combats disease, but promotes wellness. Feel free to reach out to us if you want to share a story about yourself, or someone else (with their consent) who has been a Community Leader. We would love to share their story to amplify their work and causes.
