Ian Wheeler

Ian Wheeler is an NFL athlete with strong ties to Grassroots Health. He discovered the organization while pursuing his B.S. in Psychology at Howard University. GRH gave him opportunities to further his worldview and learn about health equity through his newfound community. Ian was one of the first volunteers to assist with an expansion to Philadelphia and one of the first site coordinators for the organization.

He takes pride in the time he spent with Grassroots, the bonds he made, and the lessons he learned. For that reason, when presented with an opportunity to join the board, he knew he had to take it. As a member of the board, Ian plans to use his platform and resources to continue supporting Grassroots Health.
