Suzy Griswold, MPH
Founder and President
With over 36 years of experience in education and public health, Suzy leads the HealingStrong's community in its mission to empower individuals through peer-to-peer support in HealingStrong Groups. With her own personal cancer journey using holistic approaches to heal, coupled with her family losses, she is passionate about HealingStrong's mission and started HealingStrong in her living room more then a decade ago. She firmly believes that healing starts and ends at home and occurs through the day-to-day choices we make. She can't underscore enough that health is a "one step at a time" experience. Suzy's greatest blessing in life is her loving family, which she shares with her husband of 35 years. They are proud parents to two wonderful adult sons, a remarkable daughter-in-law, and is Mimi to her wonderful granddaughter.
Jeff Griswold
Board of Directors
Jeff Griswold is married to Suzy and has served HealingStrong since day 1. You will often find him behind the scenes preparing videos or directing the conferences. He works full-time in television ministry and creates and shares stories that bring glory to God. Married for 35+ years, he loves all things soccer, and being Dad to their two adult sons, daughter in law, and precious grandchild. Jeff’s passion is getting the stories of hope into the hands of those who need it most.
Billy Echols
Board of Directors, Vice President
Billy developed a passion for natural remedies in treating cancer after he lost his youngest daughter to cancer, following conventional treatment of less than a year. His search for more information and ways to help others suffering with cancer lead him to be part of the founding team of HealingStrong. Billy’s greatest joy is when people realize cancer does not have to be a death sentence and conventional treatments are not the only option.
Christine Holcomb, M.FIN
Board of Directors, Treasurer
Diagnosed in 2011 with breast cancer, Christine decided against chemotherapy and instead chose to support her immune system with raw foods, supplementation, and detoxification. In 2013, she attended the first HealingStrong Conference and realized then the importance of continuing face to face support. This led her to start the first group in Gainesville, GA. Christine is mom to 2 beautiful daughters and grandma to 3 amazing children.
Angelica Roa Pascual
Board of Directors
Gel and her husband promptly brought her 2015 diagnosis up to the Lord and He led them to a path that involved implementing a better lifestyle; employing nonconventional therapies; uplifting the soul; collaborating with integrative practitioners; and partnering with praying friends that surround us with positivity. HealingStrong is Gel’s answered prayer and so she is dedicating this ministry to all that may be encouraged and have a closer relationship with the Healer.
Mary Ryder
Board of Directors
Mary was introduced to Suzy and HealingStrong in 2014 as her husband Nigel was fighting colon cancer. Mary and Nigel recognized the benefit of going beyond conventional treatment to include Spiritual and Emotional healing, dietary changes and realizing that Hope is a huge strategy when battling chronic diseases. Mary joined the HealingStrong Family as a leader in Houston in 2016 and is a Regional mentor. The Houston group is the longest running HealingStrong group. Mary is now retired, loves to travel and her focus is on ensuring that each person going through a cancer journey has a Village of support, Hope, Faith, & Love.

Don’t walk the road alone…

HealingStrong saw massive growth this year. See some of what they do in the collage above. In fact, our groups saw a 49% growth, to be exact. People are in need and seeking. Whether someone comes to us because they are seeking love, community, educational information or overall support, our volunteer group leaders are the reason they have a place to come to.

Would you consider donating to help us continue our mission? It would allow us to continue serving those facing cancer, chronic illness or living for prevention, with intent and purpose as our community needs grow. We do this through creating materials, resources, providing educational opportunities, and more to our groups. Each group and group leader is fully supported by home office and we couldn’t do any of what we do without your generosity.

Head to HealingStrong.org/donate and as a bonus, you’ll receive 3 ebooks FILLED with information to help you or a friend. Past conference recordings, recipes, holistic tips and webinars. It was our way of saying thank you for dedicating to $50 or more.

⬇️

“Reflecting on the goodness of God that has brought us together to share stories of hope and healing, I am reminded of the beauty of our community. In a time where many are in great need, your encouragement, engagement, and willingness to spread our mission and resources with others serve as a powerful testament to the strength of unity and togetherness.”
