🏛️ Our team had a great time at Indiana Department of Health’s Day at the Indiana Statehouse today. So good to connect with board members, staff alum, public health leaders, and local health department partners from across the state. A few Health First Indiana highlights that deserve some applause 👏
💰$2.5 million invested in preventative health care programs
🤝 245 partnerships with stakeholders in communities across Indiana
✅ And the big one… Through GROW (a new rural public health initiative), Indiana was awarded nearly $207 million in year one of a five-year program to improve health outcomes in rural communities. That’s real investment. Real infrastructure. Real opportunity to strengthen the systems that keep Hoosiers healthy.

Exciting stuff happening in public health right now — and we’re grateful to be part of the ecosystem helping move it forward.
