“I am honored to serve as the 2025 New Jersey Heart Ball Chair,” said Lewis. “My father was a cardiovascular surgeon, my mother was an operating room nurse, and together they instilled in me a deep respect for the importance of heart health and the life-saving work of organizations like the American Heart Association. Serving as chair of the New Jersey Heart Ball feels like a natural extension of the values they passed down to me.”
