We talked about it in 2024, and we’re going to keep talking about it in 2025. Because real change takes time, commitment, and all of us. Bloomington Health Foundation knows that tackling the mental health crisis in our community isn’t a one-time initiative—it’s an ongoing movement. The Mental Health Collaborative is proof that when businesses, nonprofits, healthcare providers, and advocates come together, we can make a real impact. In our latest piece, we sit down with Michelle Gilchrist, President and CEO of BHF, to discuss why collaboration is key, progress made, and how YOU can help drive change in 2025.

At Bloomington Health Foundation, we recognize that leadership in health goes beyond innovation—it’s about representation, inclusion, access and advocacy. This #BlackHistoryMonth, we celebrate Michelle Gilchrist, our President, whose vision and dedication drive our mission forward as we work together to remove access barriers and increase health outcomes. As the first Black woman to lead BHF, she stands on the shoulders of pioneers in health equity, continuing the fight for accessible, community-driven mental health solutions. Her leadership is not just about breaking barriers—it’s about building bridges to a healthier, more equitable future for all. Join us in celebrating her impact and the work still ahead. #BlackHistoryMonth #HealthEquity #Leadership #CommunityMatters (fb)
