President
Stephanie Wynn, an acclaimed author and dedicated philanthropist, is the driving force behind the Stephanie A. Wynn Foundation. Her journey as an IBD Patient Navigator stems from her personal battle with Crohn’s Disease, an experience that not only tested her resilience but also deepened her understanding of the struggles faced by those living with chronic Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Her near-death experience in 2021 was a turning point, leading her to establish the Stephanie A. Wynn Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on enhancing the health and wellness of economically disenfranchised African Americans and other marginalized communities afflicted with IBD. Stephanie's mission through her foundation is profound yet clear: to positively impact the lives of 10,000 underserved IBD patients, addressing the often silent suffering of this group. Her dedication is a beacon of hope and support, offering not just medical assistance but also essential financial resources to those in dire need.
