RMCNews – Broomfield, Colorado – AdventHealth Avista hosted its annual Wellness Luncheon, April 30, with record attendance of around 300 participants in Broomfield, Colorado. The event aims at supporting community wellness by connecting those in the local health and wellness industry, civic officials, and other organizations along with fundraising efforts for health initiatives at AdventHealth Avista hospital in Louisville, Colorado.
The opening blessing was delivered by Johnnathan R. Ward, AdventHealth Avista Mission Integration director, and others part of the Avista leadership team, including Mark Smith, AdventHealth Avista president and CEO, gave opening statements. A table was even sponsored for the faculty of Vista Ridge Academy to attend the event.
The featured speaker was Luke Soderling who participated in a 60-day Discovery Channel survival challenge just three years after being treated for stage three thyroid cancer. The lessons shared that he learned through survival are relatable to some people’s faith journey, and he attributed some of his success in completing the challenge to a small Bible given to him by his wife that he took on the challenge.
Proceeds from a fundraising event at the luncheon will go to an innovative medical system used in women’s health, and AdventHealth Avista would be the first hospital in the region to offer this procedure.
