A Focus on the Intersection of Health and Financial Prosperity

By VerityCU February 10, 2023 American heart association

Our CEO, Tonita Webb, was nominated to be an American Heart Association Woman of Impact. It’s a tremendous honor for her and a health issue that’s close to her family. When Tonita was 32, her mom passed away from a heart condition that was brought on by Lupus. She was diagnosed with Lupus when she was 23 and ultimately had an enlarged heart which led to her death when she was a young 50.

Women, especially BIPOC women and other historically underserved communities deserve access to exceptional healthcare, mental health and financial support. Tonita and Verity have made it a mission to better represent these individuals and communities, to serve as powerful changemakers making a significant impact on women’s health and the health of our communities.  

Throughout history, women have stepped up. Stepped out. Overcome opposition. Led the workforce. Joined forces. Blasted into space. Women’s passion has made history…but their actual hearts haven’t. Heart disease and stroke have never been just men’s diseases, but through the years women have been left out of scientific studies. 

At Verity, we’ve seen firsthand the dire toll a significant health issue can have on a family’s mental, financial and physical health. That’s why it’s more important than ever to shed light on this intersection of money, health and well-being. 

Underrepresented. Uncounted. UNTREATED. 

We are fighting for better representation in medical research. Fighting for equitable access to care and treatments. Fighting to spread lifesaving information to our sisters and communities. Fighting to overcome the No. 1 killer of women because losing even one woman is too many.

Together we can make a difference. With support - medical, financial and mental, real change is possible.
