Hoosier Health Series
IU Health Foundation events with clinical experts highlighting how philanthropy makes All the Difference in support of a healthier Indiana.
Hoosier Health Series launched as a webinar during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2026, IU Health Foundation changed the format to in-person events featuring clinical leaders from across IU Health.
One thing never changed: At each Hoosier Health Series event, an IU Health expert shares their in-depth knowledge on a health-related or philanthropic topic with our audience.
Our next event:
