Celebrating Resilience & Innovation in Healthcare

2025 Breakfast of Champions Featuring Humanitarian Amanda Lindhout

On Thursday, May 8, 2025, the Breakfast of Champions hosted by St. Joseph’s Healthcare was a morning to remember. As a proud Lead Sponsor, we were thrilled to support this inspiring event that celebrated the incredible work of those transforming healthcare in our community. It was a chance to come together, connect, and recognize the people making a real difference in healthcare.

This year’s event featured an unforgettable guest speaker—Amanda Lindhout, a Canadian humanitarian, bestselling author of A House in the Sky, and expert on resilience. Amanda shared her deeply moving story of surviving a 460-day kidnapping in Somalia and her powerful journey to heal from post-traumatic stress disorder. Her courage, strength, and ability to find hope in the face of such adversity left everyone in awe. Amanda’s message of resilience was a true highlight and reminded us all of the power of the human spirit to overcome challenges.

Beyond Amanda’s inspiring talk, the Breakfast of Champions served as a powerful reminder of how important it is to keep pushing for innovation and positive change in healthcare. It was a chance to celebrate the incredible work happening in our community and to reflect on the progress we’ve made—and the work still ahead.

We want to give a huge thank you to St. Joseph’s Healthcare for organizing such an impactful event. Their dedication to supporting both the people in healthcare and the communities they serve is something we’re proud to be part of.

If you couldn’t make it this year, we encourage you to get involved in future events and join us in supporting the amazing work being done in healthcare. Together, we can continue to create a healthier and more resilient community.
