HERO, the Health Enhancement Research Organization, has named Brent Easton, a palliative care chaplain for Lourdes and Mercy Health, the recipient of the inaugural Alliant Healthy HERO Award.

The Alliant Healthy HERO Award recognizes an individual whose participation in a company-sponsored well-being program has inspired significant, sustained improvements in health and overall well-being.

Easton spent years losing and re-gaining weight before renewing his commitment in 2014 to changing his life and his health. With assistance from Lourdes and Mercy Health’s well-being program, he adjusted his diet and exercise habits and rethought his definition of success.

“As a palliative care chaplain, I saw first-hand the problems chronic illness could create for people. I took stock in my own life, made a lifestyle change, and said good bye to morbid obesity,” said Brent Easton. “Once I made these changes in my own life, I took joy in helping others find their way through the same process. I love helping people transform their lives for the better. Being recognized for that is a special bonus and a great honor.”

Over the past three years, Easton has lost 100 pounds and trimmed 13 inches from his waist.
