IU Health is building local programming and infrastructure through $9.63 million of grants heading to 14 not-for-profit organizations. This year’s funded projects fall into the health-related categories of workforce development, new centers, homelessness and school resources.
The new round of funding means the health system has directed over $32 million in grants from the Community Impact Investment Fund since 2018.
“IU Health is committed to helping make Indiana one of the healthiest states in the nation. The Community Impact Investment Fund lets us look beyond the walls of our hospitals to address the social, economic, and environmental factors that contribute to poor health, shortened lives and higher health care costs,” IU Health President and CEO Dennis Murphy said in a news release. “This year’s grants connect IU Health to additional community partners who share our desire to make a positive difference in the lives of Hoosiers.”
