Veritas Allies is proud to support Wrestling for Peace and its 2026 Fall Gala, Wrestling Beyond Borders, taking place October 2nd at the University Club of Portland.
Why Veritas Allies Supports Community Wellness Beyond Healthcare
For Veritas Allies, supporting this event represents something much larger than an evening around a table. It reflects a belief that has always been central to our work: health and wellness extend far beyond the walls of a hospital, a health plan, or a physician's office.
They begin in our homes, our schools, our gyms, and our communities.
As an organization deeply rooted in healthcare, Veritas Allies believes our industry has both an opportunity and a responsibility to support programs that encourage healthy lifestyles, strengthen communities, create meaningful connections, and give people opportunities to thrive.
How Wrestling for Peace Builds Community Through Sport
Wrestling for Peace embodies that mission through sport. By bringing together athletes, coaches, community leaders, diplomats, and humanitarian organizations, Wrestling for Peace uses one of the world's oldest sports as common ground — creating opportunities for mentorship, cultural exchange, service, and connection across communities and borders.
That philosophy resonates deeply with Veritas Allies.
One World. One Community.
Behind the claims, contracts, data, negotiations, and systems are people — and ultimately, healthier people create healthier communities.
We believe promoting wellness means looking beyond healthcare as something that begins only when a person becomes sick or injured. It means supporting movement, encouraging discipline, and building confidence and resilience. It means creating community, giving young people positive outlets and strong mentors, and investing in organizations that bring people together rather than divide them.
Those efforts may not always take place inside the traditional healthcare system, but they are unquestionably part of building a healthier world.
David Vizzini, CEO of Veritas Allies, on Investing in Health Before Healthcare
"As members of the healthcare community, we should be willing to invest in health long before someone needs healthcare," said David Vizzini, CEO of Veritas Allies. "Programs that get people moving, build confidence, create community, and bring people together are part of that equation. At the end of the day, we are one world and one community, and taking care of one another extends well beyond what happens inside our industry."
Why Wrestling Reflects the Values Behind Healthier Communities
Wrestling holds a special place in that message. The sport is built on many of the same principles that create strong individuals and strong communities: discipline, perseverance, accountability, respect, and the willingness to keep going when things get difficult.
Through its global initiatives, Wrestling for Peace takes those principles beyond the mat, using sport as a bridge between people from different backgrounds, cultures, and communities.
Veritas Allies is honored to play a small role in supporting that work.
Veritas Allies' Commitment to Wellness Extends Beyond Healthcare
Our work at Veritas Allies is focused on improving healthcare and advocating for better outcomes. But our commitment to wellness doesn't end with the members, clients, providers, and partners we serve every day.
It extends to the communities around us — and, whenever possible, beyond them.
Supporting Wrestling for Peace is one way we can help advance a broader definition of health: one that includes physical activity, mental resilience, belonging, mentorship, community, and human connection.
Because healthier communities aren't built by healthcare organizations alone. They're built when all of us choose to invest in one another.
One world. One community. One shared responsibility to make it healthier.
