The Speakers

Maria Trusa is an author, entrepreneur, and human rights advocate for children. She is a philanthropist and public speaker, as well as a leader in the healthcare field. Owner and CEO of Formé Medical Center and Urgent Care in White Plains, Trusa has focused on creative and entrepreneurial solutions to provide quality healthcare in a medical membership model for the vulnerable Latino community, undocumented, and uninsured families.

Maria’s transformational methodology is centered on guiding women through a step-by-step journey of self-actualization, releasing the bonds that have held them captive and ultimately granting themselves the emotional autonomy to rewrite their stories and empower those around them.
