Health and Wellness
The Annual Health & Wellness Luncheon is focused on the constantly changing and evolving realm of healthcare, wellness, and other medical breakthroughs and topics of discussion in West Houston. In existence since 2003, the luncheon is designed to keep the Chamber membership informed and educated with regards to the latest issues in healthcare.
With more than $1.6 billion dollars of hospital investments developing and flourishing in the West Houston community, this influential industry is one that must be fostered and embraced. In fact, the main purpose and goal of this luncheon and of the Health and Wellness Committee is to award two grants in the amount of $1,000 to two adults pursuing careers in health and wellness.
Usually held in the month of September, the luncheon garners approximately 350 attendees and has boasted sponsors with the likes of Memorial Hermann Hospital, Texas Children's Hospital, and the West Houston Medical Center.
Former speakers include Darren Whitehurst of the Texas Medical Association, Dr. Dan Stultz, President and CEO of the Texas Hospital Association, Radio Personality & Health and Fitness Guru, Shaun Kelley, and Shelley Sekula-Gibbs, former Republican candidate for Congress (District 22).
