What a night! Last night in Asheville, the 2025 North Carolina Awards took place for the first time held outside of Raleigh.

Thanks to our family at AdventHealth for serving as Signature Sponsor for this special evening. Because when we stand together in community, we make meaningful impact.

Among the many honored, we’re especially excited to celebrate our very own DeLaina Lewkowicz - a valued member of the AdventHealth team. Governor Josh Stein recognized DeLaina and her husband David Lewkowicz and Bridge Church where he is pastor as "Helene Heroes." In the wake of Hurricane Helene, they stepped up in a big way: partnering with Mercy Chefs to serve thousands of hot meals to families whose homes were destroyed.

We celebrate DeLaina and David and all the recipients of the 2025 North Carolina Awards honored for resilience, creativity, service and scientific discovery across our state.
