The Women of Vision Luncheon was created in 2004 to bring together interesting and talented women to educate them about their health and inspire them to follow their dreams. On April 17, Riverview Health Foundation hosted its 10th annual luncheon.

During the past 10 years, Riverview Health Foundation has reached out to 3,000 women and men who have helped raise more than $600,000 for women’s services, programs and equipment at Riverview Health. In addition, this year’s luncheon raised nearly $62,000 to help fund women’s initiatives.

At the recent luncheon, Riverview Medical Group physician, Amy Banter, MD, and her sister, Cynthia Husted, PhD, shared their knowledge of holistic medicine and Husted’s story of strength and healing after being bitten by a black widow spider. Husted also was presented with the Women’s Retreat Impact Award, which is given to women who best exemplify life balance through who they are and the time, talent and energy they give through business, civic or philanthropic leadership.

The foundation was honored to present 11 “Women of Vision Giving Club” grants, totaling $28,287, to the following areas and programs at Riverview Health: Maternity Center, OB/GYN Specialists, Rehab & Fitness and Women’s Boutique. These grants are awarded to programs at Riverview Health that impact the lives of women and girls in Hamilton County.

On the day of the event, the attendees opened their hearts by raising $24,879 and 48 women renewed or joined the Women of Vision Giving Club. For more information on how to join, contact Jessica Deering at 776.7938 or [email protected].
