Edie Wells

The pandemic has taught Edie Wells “to be thankful for the past and present and to be grateful that we have a future to look forward to.” She makes it a point to act on gratitude by paying it forward — which she did by sending meals to Baptist Health Louisville’s frontline workers at the peak of the COVID-19 crisis. 

“I’m grateful for getting through this and for how people responded to each other,” Edie said. “It brought us out of ourselves. It forced you to slow down and think about what you have in life.” The result, she added, is a shared sense of “wellness and peace.”
