NEWS: Her Health Summit Presenting Sponsor
Dr. Heidi Schaeffer Charitable Trust
The Her Health Summit is honored to welcome Dr. Heidi Schaeffer as a Presenting Sponsor through the Dr. Heidi Schaeffer Charitable Trust.
A respected physician, educator, and nationally recognized leader in human trafficking awareness and advocacy, Dr. Schaeffer has dedicated her life to addressing some of the most complex and often overlooked challenges in women’s and community health.
With a career spanning medicine, philanthropy, and social impact, her work goes far beyond clinical care. She is known for advancing a powerful, whole-person approach to healing, one that recognizes the deep connection between mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Dr. Schaeffer serves as a Clinical Affiliate Assistant Professor at Florida Atlantic University’s Schmidt College of Medicine and has been widely recognized for her leadership, including being named Human Trafficking Advocate of the Year by the Florida Attorney General.
Through her philanthropic initiatives, including the Resilience, Hope, and Healing Fund and the B.R.A.V.E.R.Y. research grant, she is actively supporting the next generation of healthcare and social impact leaders while driving critical research in areas such as trauma, exploitation, and women’s health.
Her work is rooted in one powerful belief: that true healing happens when we see and support the whole human being.
Her support of the Her Health Summit reflects a shared mission to elevate women’s health conversations, shine a light on under-researched and underserved areas, and create meaningful, lasting impact for women and families in our communities.
