We are pleased to announce the next meeting of the Brownstone Midwest Supper Club on Monday August 11, featuring Ashley Grogg, Founder of Hoosiers for Medical Liberty.
About the talk:
Ashley will unpack why informed decision-making on vaccines is currently impossible in Indiana, what needs to change, and what we, as Hoosiers, must do to protect the right to question, research, and choose without coercion. She’ll discuss why Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s influence is making possible real conversations about vaccine safety, transparency, and accountability. But we cannot sit back and expect the federal government to fix what’s broken. Indiana must lead the way.
About Ashley Grogg:
Ashley Grogg is a master’s-prepared registered nurse and board-certified functional medicine practitioner from Indiana, with nearly 20 years of experience in healthcare.
After witnessing firsthand the catastrophic failures of our “sick-care” system, Ashley left traditional healthcare in 2018 to launch Wellness Through Awareness, where she now helps individuals take ownership of their health through education and functional laboratory review.
In February 2020, Ashley founded Hoosiers for Medical Liberty, an Indiana non-profit dedicated to legislative advocacy for bodily integrity. Driven by a passion to end unnecessary suffering, she speaks boldly yet compassionately on some of the toughest issues in healthcare and public policy.
Recent projects include initiatives to help healthcare professionals heal from moral injury, Education on the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, and co-hosting the globally ranked podcast Nurses Out Loud—a daily, uncensored show from the America Out Loud Network.
Ashley’s mission is to awaken, equip, and advocate—restoring integrity to healthcare, defending medical liberty, and ending needless suffering by empowering others to reclaim their health, their voice, and their God-given right to informed decision-making.

Brownstone Institute is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded May 2021. Its vision is of a society that places the highest value on the voluntary interaction of individuals and groups while minimizing the use of violence and force including that which is exercised by public or private authorities. This vision is that of the Enlightenment which elevated learning, science, progress, and universal rights to the forefront of public life. Presently, it is constantly threatened by ideologies and systems that would take the world back to before the triumph of the ideal of freedom.
