The Health Foundation of South Florida is proud to recognize as the Gold Sponsor of Black Health Summit 2026.

Baptist Health’s commitment to delivering compassionate, high-quality care to every person who walks through their doors is reflected not only in their hospitals and clinics but in the partnerships they choose to invest in.

Meet Laurie Sallarulo, President & CEO of Junior Achievement of South Florida, joining the “Beyond the Clinic: Sports, Music, and Economic Empowerment as a Black Youth Health Strategy” panel at Black Health Summit 2026.

Over the past decade, as President & CEO of Junior Achievement of South Florida, she has more than tripled both the organization’s impact and revenue. Under her leadership, Junior Achievement reaches 80,000 young people each year, preparing them for lives of purpose, possibility, and economic opportunity. Laurie believes that where education meets opportunity, every child has a chance to build a bold, meaningful future.

A Governor-appointed Chair of the Early Learning Coalition of Broward County and The Able Trust, board member of CareerSource Florida, and Trustee of The McCune Family Foundation, Laurie will bring that same depth of commitment to a conversation about how economic empowerment is one of the most powerful and most underutilized levers in Black youth health.

History tells you what is possible. Eugene K. Pettis has been making history his whole career. We are honored to welcome Eugene, Founder of Osborne, Francis and Pettis, PLLC, and Founder of Black Men2Men Alliance, to Black Health Summit 2026.

Eugene is a Fort Lauderdale trial attorney with 40 years of experience in complex civil matters, but his impact reaches far beyond the courtroom. He made history as the first African American President of The Florida Bar, overseeing more than 100,000 attorneys and launching the William Reece Smith Leadership Academy, a program that continues to develop diverse legal leaders today.

Outside of his legal career, Eugene is a devoted community builder, founding the Black Men2Men Alliance, the Alpha Rho Boulé Male Middle School Mentorship Program, and the Community Education Alliance. His life’s work reflects a belief that leadership is not a title. It is a commitment to show up for the people and communities that need you most.

On June 16th, Eugene brings that same commitment to the 'Beyond the Clinic: Sports, Music, and Economic Empowerment as a Black Youth Health Strategy” session.

What if a soccer field could change a child’s health trajectory? Ed Foster-Simeon has spent years proving it can. Meet Ed Foster-Simeon, President & CEO of the U.S. Soccer Foundation, joining the “Beyond the Clinic: Sports, Music, and Economic Empowerment as a Black Youth Health Strategy” panel at Black Health Summit 2026.

A U.S. Navy veteran, Ed brings more than three decades of experience in soccer at the local, state, and national levels. Since taking the helm of the U.S. Soccer Foundation in 2008, he has transformed it into a nationally recognized leader in sports-based youth development with a special emphasis on programs that improve health and social outcomes for children in underserved communities.

His Safe Places to Play initiative has built and refurbished hundreds of mini-pitches in urban neighborhoods, transforming access to the game for communities that need it most. The Foundation’s work has earned the prestigious Steve Patterson Award for Excellence in Sports Philanthropy from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, a Social Innovation Fund award, and the Role Model Award from Football is More. A published author whose work has appeared in Fast Company, USA Today, and Savoy Magazine, Ed is also a Trustee of the NAACP Foundation. In 2020, he received the United Soccer Coaches Honorary All-America Award.

Music isn’t just an art form. In the right hands, it’s a lifeline. Meet Tiffany “Tif Boom” Lusan, Regional Director at Guitars Over Guns, joining the “Beyond the Clinic: Sport, Music, and Economic Empowerment as a Black Youth Health Strategy” panel at Black Health Summit 2026.

A South Florida-raised poet, youth advocate, and community leader of Jamaican descent, Tiffany's work lives at the crossroads of art, healing, and impact. Known for her contagious energy and gift for turning lived experience into language, she has been featured on CBS News and on iHeartMedia programming, and publicly recognized by Miami mayors and commissioners for her community outreach and spoken-word contributions.

At Guitars Over Guns, Tif designs and leads music education and mentorship experiences for middle and high school students, built around consistency, belonging, and the kind of sustained relationship that keeps young people engaged long enough for real change to take root. Her debut book, Safe Word, blends positive poetry and mindfulness activities to support focus, self-reflection, and a more productive mindset.

Her presence on this panel reflects a core conviction of the Summit: that the pathways to better health for Black youth run not only through clinics and classrooms, but through art, voice, and the adults who show up for them with intention.

South Florida is home to some remarkable civic leaders. Matthew Anderson, Executive Director of Mosaic Miami, is one of them, and we are proud to welcome him as the moderator for the “Beyond the Clinic: Sport, Music, and Economic Empowerment as a Black Youth Health Strategy” panel at Black Health Summit 2026.

Matt leads one of Miami’s oldest civic institutions in its mission to build bridges across the county. Before this role, he served as Chair of Mosaic Miami’s Board of Directors, helping guide the organization’s rebranding and revitalization while actively supporting its flagship leadership and dialogue programs. His career spans both the private sector and nonprofit leadership, with a consistent focus on designing, funding, and implementing initiatives that ensure Miami remains a beacon of opportunity for all. His civic footprint reflects more than a decade of service in education, health, arts, interfaith dialogue, philanthropy, and youth leadership.

This panel features some of the most innovative youth-serving leaders in the country. With Matthew at the helm, it promises to be one of the Summit’s most energizing conversations.

Health equity includes the air we breathe, the roads we travel, and the environment we call home.

Meet Catherine Toms, President of Green Cars 4 Kids, joining the “Lessons from the Field” panel at Black Health Summit 2026.

Green Cars 4 Kids addresses something that doesn’t always make it into health equity conversations: the crossroads of environmental health, transportation equity, and community well-being. Catherine’s work reflects a growing and vital understanding that where you live, how you get around, and what you breathe every day are as determinative of your health as anything that happens inside a clinic.

Her presence on this panel broadens the definition of health equity in a way the Summit has always championed — because lasting change requires addressing the full range of conditions that shape how communities thrive.

At Health Choice Network, Dr. Chung-Bridges leads community health research for a South Florida-based network of Federally Qualified Health Centers committed to providing comprehensive primary care to underserved communities. Her work bridges the gap between research and real-world impact, ensuring that the communities most affected by health disparities have access to quality, culturally responsive care.

At the Summit, she will bring those frontline lessons to the “Lessons from the Field” panel, a conversation about what sustained community investment truly looks like in practice.
