President's Message

Thank you for joining us at our Galentine’s Event on February 11th! We had a wonderful time with such an amazing group of women, creating custom natural oil sprays and supporting a great cause.

A special thanks to Commercial Office Environments for hosting us in their beautiful space and to Zhenroot for guiding us in making those incredible, great-smelling oil blends!

Our EWHC/HFMA Women Lead HERe joint conference day was this past Wednesday where approximately 60 women and men attended with all day presentations on the Gender Wage Gap. This topic is very prevalent today and we heard from multiple speakers. Our morning presentation was presented by your very own, on Landscape of Gender Wage Gap followed by When, Why, and What You Can Do About Gender Pay Equity presented by, Charlotte Westerhause-Renfrow. The afternoon Panel, Taking Action: Strategies for Organizations to Close the Gender Pay Gap featured Amanda Gilbert, Nicole Harper, and Cassandra Faurote.

Our purse raffle raised a generous amount of money and all donations go towards Dove Recovery House.

It was a wonderful day of support and conversations about a very current topic that needs all our our attention and drive for change.

More Information

With 15 hospitals, more than 300 primary care and specialty offices, and 38,000 employees statewide, Indiana University Health is one of the busiest hospital systems in the U.S. and consistently ranked among the top hospitals in the nation by U.S. News & World Report.

Each year, the healthcare system cares for more than 1 million of the state’s residents, a fact that IU Health sees as an extraordinary opportunity – indeed a responsibility – to lead toward its stated goal of making Indiana one of the healthiest states in the nation. It pursues this goal not simply by treating Hoosiers who are ill or injured but by complementing world-class care with attention to social determinants of health in Indiana communities. The healthcare system’s unique partnership with Indiana University School of Medicine – one of the nation's leading medical schools – gives IU Health’s highly skilled physicians access to innovative treatments using the latest research and technology.

Recognizing the current health landscape, it is our mission to improve Indiana’s overall health, which currently ranks 35th among all states. With this mission in mind, IU Health prioritizes five pillars of community-based initiatives with the goal to decrease health inequality across our state.
