In Our Community
Improving health and advancing equal access to healthcare for patients, our communities and our state
IU Health goes beyond caring for patients in our care.
Learn about our commitment to improving the health and well-being of the communities we serve.
High Blood Pressure
Through IU Health’s community engaged approach, we aim to reduce hypertension-related diseases and complications, especially among residents of medically underserved communities across the state of Indiana.
Infant & Maternal Health
Many barriers, such as food and access to safe housing, have played a role in death rates among infants. IU Health breaks these barriers through free resource offerings and education for long-term success.
Social Health Needs
Although healthcare may commonly be associated to doctor visits and medication, total health starts with daily needs. We help our communities thrive through community-based, low-cost resources.
Tobacco & Nicotine Use
Our IU Health tobacco cessation program offers a variety of tools and support to make the quitting process easier so that you can begin to restore your health.
