‘Wall that Heals' veterans memorial open for viewing
A welcome home ceremony was held Thursday evening on the South Lawn of Packard Music Hall, where the wall is set up. Clusters of people walked and stopped along the wall, looking for the names of someone they knew who was killed during the Vietnam War.
It will be available for people to view through Sunday. Taps will be played each night at sunset.
'It's an experience that kind of heals the community, heals the veterans who served, their friends and neighbors and family that don't get that opportunity to go and share and remember them the proper way,' said co-chairman Herm Breuer.
Friday at 6 p.m., the nurses who served in Vietnam will be honored, then on Saturday at 2 p.m., there will be a Medal of Honor tribute. The closing ceremony is at 1:45 p.m. on Sunday.

Healthcare Activation Company, Pyx Health, Ranks No. 661 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 List of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In its annual list of the fastest growing private companies in America, leading media brand Inc. today revealed that Pyx Health has ranked number 661, denoting its fourth consecutive appearance on the Inc. 5000. The prestigious list is a data driven snapshot of the companies experiencing the most success in today's economy, with giants like Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, and more previously earning a coveted spot. Founded in 2017, Pyx Health is a member activation company that improves quality outcomes for health plans and their members. Pyx blends personalized technology, real human connection and home-delivered resources to engage members, motivate them, and support taking action to improve their health. Through their offering, Pyx identifies hidden risks, addresses non-medical drivers of health (NMDoH) like transportation to appointments or food insecurity, and helps close gaps in care, ultimately delivering better outcomes for members and reducing healthcare spending. Achieving considerable success since its origins, since late 2023, Pyx Health acquired chronic disease management platform InquisitHealth to supercharge its tech-enablement, and co-founders Cindy and Anne Jordan most recently raised $47.5 million in the lead-up to Pyx's acquisition of food-as-engagement company FarmboxRx. These acquisitions marked a significant milestone for the brand as it continues to expand beyond its roots as a loneliness point solution to fully encircle members with support for the breadth of non-medical barriers to care, like food insecurity – a pervasive and significant need among the CMS populations Pyx Health serves. 'Being named in the Inc. 5000 for the fourth consecutive year is a powerful validation of not just our growth, but of our mission to address NMDoH and expand access to care for underserved populations,' said Cindy Jordan, CEO and Co-Founder of Pyx Health. 'At a time when policy changes threaten to strip vital benefits and access to care from society's most vulnerable populations, our work is more urgent than ever. We're committed to continuing to meet people where they are, with compassion, technology, and a belief that no one should have to navigate their health alone.' Pyx's appearance on the list denotes exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and an ever-changing landscape in the healthcare industry. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, and those companies have collectively added more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years. 'Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company's tenacity and clarity of vision,' says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. 'These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn't just weather the storm—they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.' Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2025 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 22–24 in Phoenix, and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. magazine.
