Ward and Smith Sponsors WilmingtonBiz Power Breakfast: Vital Signs

Ward and Smith is proud to sponsor the upcoming Wilmington Business Journal Power Breakfast: Vital Signs, a timely discussion focused on the future of health care in the Wilmington region.

The event will take place on Thursday, July 16, 2026, at the Wilmington Convention Center. Breakfast and networking will begin at 7:30 a.m., followed by the program from 8:15 to 9:45 a.m.

Health care in southeastern North Carolina is entering a period of major change. With a medical school approved for the University of North Carolina Wilmington, growing competition for hospital beds, and significant investments in new facilities and health care workers, the region is preparing for a new chapter in how care is delivered, accessed, and supported.

The Power Breakfast will bring together representatives from medical, business, and educational institutions to discuss what these developments mean for the community’s health and for the broader regional economy.

Tickets are available through WilmingtonBiz. Individual seats are $60. Buy them here.
