Ruth Westreich

Ruth Westreich, president of the Westreich Foundation, generously supports people and non-profit organizations that challenge The Normalcy Bias. Every day each one of us has learned to accept the unintended consequences of decisions that put profits before people and planet. Ruth believes it is possible to change this by taking incremental steps to educate oneself, learn from the underheard voices and then take action to become a change maker.

Above all, Ruth is a connector and strategist who creates communication bridges that bring together people and varied disciplines in health, the environment, discovery science and investigative journalism.

For decades, The Westreich Foundation has supported a variety of people and causes, including improving access and availability of whole-person medicine and personalized health, as well as restorative and organic agriculture and respective foods. In recent years, the realization that personal health cannot be achieved without planetary health has guided Ruth into new avenues of environmental activism and creativity through her art.
