2026 Health Heroes Gala

The Health Heroes Gala is an evening dedicated to honoring the courage, compassion, and unwavering commitment of those who work every day to strengthen the physical, mental, and social well‑being of our community. We are thrilled to celebrate the individuals whose efforts uplift lives and inspire a healthier future for all.
