Debora Wright, CEO of Inner Images
Raised
I retired as the CEO of Inner Images, Inc., a mobile mammography business serving all of California. Currently, my company serves over 40,000 women a year through the Every Woman Counts Program. I am Founder and Executive Director of A Vision of Health, a non-profit organization developed to utilize a full field digital mobile mammography coach and disease prevention programs through nutrition and exercise. I have been a Cancer Activist for over thirty years and understand that groundbreaking research can make a difference in all forms of cancer. In 2008, 2009, and 2011 I went to multiple cities in China with the American Cancer Society to assist in their Annual Breast Imaging Training in cooperation with the International Asian Breast Disease Society. Over 600 family Practice Physicians were trained in Clinical Breast Exam and Breast Care. In 2015 UCLA World Medicine collaborated with the National Consortium of Breast Centers with a week training for Clinical Breast Exam Training. I graduated from Fullerton College with a degree in radiologic technology and received my training at St. Jude Hospital in Fullerton, CA. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Health and Safety from California State University at Los Angeles and has a teaching credential in Health and Related Sciences from California State University at Long Beach. I have been a member of the National Consortium of Breast Centers since 1994 serving as a Trustee, on the Planning and Advisory Committees, and currently a CBE instructor.

Trusted Champion of Lung Health. Harold Wimmer, CEO of the American Lung Association, was invited to participate in the President’s Vaccine Initiative with other prominent public health organizations. The Surgeon General, who heads the task force, convened key influencers in the public health arena to achieve the President’s goal for 70% of the U.S. adult population to be vaccinated by July 4th.
