'Crown of Health': PARIS RICHARDSON's Reign of Wellness

Sparkle and smarts?  Paris Richardson has that, and then some!  🤩🌟 She’s Miss Gainesville.. a future healthcare powerhouse.. and about to be awarded her Master’s Degree in Health Administration at the University of Florida. (Go Gators! 🐊)

From dreaming of healthcare solutions at the age of seven (yes, SEVEN!), to creating the “Ribault Get Raw” healthcare club in high school, she was on a mission to transform community wellness long before becoming a pageant queen. 💫  And as a contestant in this summer’s 2025 Miss Florida contest, she’s got a powerful platform; Crown of Health.

It’s a call to action, that stands for Community, Research, Outreach, Wellness, and Nutrition.  Paris wants to level the playing field and promoting health equity for all.  That’s her goal, as she dreams of becoming a hospital CEO with a vision of also expanding school-based health centers nationwide.

Paris explains, her journey wasn’t always easy:  The setbacks.. the self-doubt – I mean, how many times can one person hear the word, “NO.” 😳.   She says, with the right people in your corner and a whole lot of passion and determination – the triumphant comebacks are priceless. 👑❤️
