10th Annual Steps to Wellness

Every Step Counts. Every Year Matters.

Celebrating a decade of Steps to Wellness and over 50 years of serving our communities.

As Meridian Healthcare commemorates over 50 years of serving our community, we are proud to celebrate the 10th Annual Steps to Wellness Luncheon. This dual milestone honors a legacy of compassionate care, advocacy, and community partnership while reaffirming our commitment to promoting mental health and wellness for generations to come. Over the past decade, the Steps to Wellness Luncheon has become a signature community event.

What began as an opportunity to raise awareness has grown into a powerful gathering that brings together community leaders, advocates, supporters, and partners who share a common vision of a healthier future. Each year, attendees come together to learn, connect, and champion the importance of mental wellness throughout our region. This year’s program will feature inspiring speakers, community stories, and a celebration of impact.

As we reflect on ten years of Steps to Wellness and over fifty years of Meridian’s service, we will honor the progress made, recognize those who have helped advance our mission, and look ahead to new opportunities to strengthen the well-being of our community. Attendees will leave inspired, informed, and empowered to continue making a difference in the lives of others.
