Scenes from the October 17 Event

Nearly 300 people turned out at the Sheraton in Springfield on Oct. 17 to honor the third class of Healthcare Heroes, a recognition program launched by BusinessWest and its sister publication, HCN, to recognize those standing out in the health and wellness field. Here, the eight honorees gather with representatives of the event’s sponsors prior to the ceremonies. The Healthcare Heroes gala featured networking, fine food, and poignant comments from each of the honorees.
