June 2026 Member Meeting

Join the Heart of Cary Association this June for an important and timely conversation about mental health in our community 🧠💙

We’re honored to welcome Anna Liese Call, Director of Major Gifts at WakeMed, who will share updates on WakeMed’s new mental health hospital project and other initiatives expanding access to behavioral health services across our region.

As our community continues to grow, so does the need for strong mental health infrastructure—for families, businesses, first responders, students, and neighbors alike. This conversation will offer a meaningful look at how WakeMed is responding to those needs and what it means for the Downtown Cary community and beyond.

This is also a great opportunity to:

• Connect with fellow Downtown Cary business owners, nonprofits, and residents 🤝
• Learn what’s ahead for mental health care in our area
• Engage in HOCA’s ongoing efforts to strengthen the heart of our community

We’re especially excited to welcome Anna Liese as she becomes more involved in Downtown Cary and explores opportunities to serve with the Heart of Cary Association board.

Come be part of the conversation—and the community.

Our membership meetings allow us to come together as an organization and learn about our community and its members. We share news and updates from town officials, sponsoring members, nonprofits and most importantly, you. Our meetings are free to attend for members and we allow guests to attend a meeting before deciding on whether to become a member.

When: Thursday, June 18th, from 7:30 to 9 a.m.

Where: Cary Chamber of Commerce, 307 N. Academy Street, Cary, NC
