Future of Health Dinner 2026

The Future of Health Awards Dinner is a night that brings together community leaders, health equity champions, and change-makers for celebration, connection, and recognition of those driving progress.

As one of GBEF’s four pillars, alongside work, wealth, and democracy, health remains a critical force in shaping opportunity, access, and justice for Black communities. This year, we honored leaders and organizations fighting for a healthier future, including:

Impact Award: Dr. Alfiee Breland-Noble

Cultural Catalyst Award: Monica Simpson, Executive Director of SisterSong

Corporate Leadership Award: Dr. Imamu Tomlinson, CEO of Vituity


The evening underscored what we know to be true: when health equity thrives, so does our collective future.
