Hello Pass The Torch Family,
We’re excited to share another powerful part of our International Women’s Day 2026 program:
our fireside chat with
Dr. Lindsay Weaver
Indiana State Health Commissioner
Dr. Weaver was reappointed as State Health Commissioner by Governor Mike Braun on January 13, 2025, after first being named to the role by Governor Eric J. Holcomb in June 2023. She brings a clear focus on improving the health of Hoosiers through prevention, data-informed programming, and access to care in every corner of the state.
As State Health Commissioner, Dr. Weaver leads the implementation of major statewide initiatives, including:
GROW: Cultivating Hoosier Health, with a strong focus on rural health.
Health First Indiana, an initiative designed to strengthen prevention and expand the delivery of core public health services across Indiana
Her leadership reflects the kind of steady, mission-driven work that impacts families, communities, and future generations, and we can’t wait to hear her perspective during this special conversation.
