We are thrilled to share some exciting news! 🎉
Believe Big CEO and Co-Founder Ivelisse Page has been appointed to the **National Advisory Council for Complementary and Integrative Health (NACCIH)** under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
For the past 15 years, Ivelisse has passionately advocated for cancer patients and worked to bridge the gap between conventional oncology and evidence-based complementary and integrative therapies. This appointment provides an incredible opportunity to bring the patient voice, lived experience, and the importance of whole-person care into conversations helping shape the future of healthcare.
Today, Ivelisse also had the privilege of touring the HHS headquarters, where she received her very first challenge coin, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s coin, and viewed an extraordinary collection of historical Kennedy family memorabilia.
We are incredibly grateful for this opportunity and excited to see Ivelisse bring the heart and mission of Believe Big to the national stage.
As Ivelisse shared:
“Integrative medicine is not fringe. It is the future of healthcare. And I am ready to help shape it.”
Please join us in congratulating Ivelisse on this tremendous honor! 💙🙌
