Centre for Neuro Skills CFO to Lead 2025 Kern County Heart and Stroke Walk

Lindsay Ashley, chief financial officer at Centre for Neuro Skills, has been appointed chair of the 2025 Kern County Heart and Stroke Walk, signaling a significant community leadership initiative focused on advancing cardiovascular health awareness and research.

The annual event, scheduled for October 11 at California State University, Bakersfield, will bring together a diverse team of Kern County executives dedicated to raising critical funds for the American Heart Association. Ashley will lead a collaborative effort to recruit local companies and organizations, emphasizing corporate engagement in community health transformation.

The Heart and Stroke Walk represents more than a fundraising event; it serves as a platform for driving actionable conversations about employee wellness and community health strategies. By mobilizing business leaders across various sectors, the initiative aims to create meaningful impact in preventing and managing heart disease and stroke.

The executive leadership team comprises professionals from healthcare, media, legal, and financial sectors, reflecting a comprehensive community approach to addressing cardiovascular health challenges. Key objectives include raising awareness about preventative health measures, supporting medical research, and providing resources for individuals and families affected by heart disease and stroke.

Kelley Berry, executive director of the American Heart Association's Kern County chapter, highlighted the critical role of leadership in advancing the organization's mission. The event provides participants access to critical health resources, tools, and activities supporting both mental and physical well-being.

Centre for Neuro Skills' involvement extends beyond the local Kern County event, with the organization participating in heart walk events across California and Texas. Dr. Matt Ashley, the company's Chief Medical Officer, further demonstrates the organization's commitment by serving on the Central Texas American Heart Association's Board of Directors.

The Heart and Stroke Walk underscores an essential message: heart disease and stroke are largely preventable through proactive lifestyle choices, including diet, exercise, and stress management. By bringing together community leaders and healthcare professionals, the event aims to empower individuals with knowledge and resources to improve their cardiovascular health.
