Meet Our Health & Wellness Ambassador, Katie Ledecky

Katie Ledecky

World Champion and Olympic medal winning swimmer, Katie Ledecky credits her amazing success to intense training, hard work, dedication, and being proactive about her health. As the most decorated female swimmer in Olympic history, with 14 total medals and 17 world records, Katie’s ongoing commitment to her health and wellness, combined with her passion and work ethic, have all contributed to her astounding achievements as a world class athlete and a health champion.

As the Health & Wellness Ambassador at Catholic Health, Katie shares the importance of taking a proactive, intentional role in your own health and wellness. “You have to be an advocate for your health. It’s up to you to take control of your wellness by making healthy choices and partnering with your health care providers to be proactive rather than reactive.” This hands-on, preventive approach to health paid off for Katie - and it can pay off for you too.
