IndyCar driver, Ed Carpenter visits Methodist Hospital

Team members and patients at Methodist Hospital got a special surprise this month when IndyCar driver and central Indiana's own, Ed Carpenter stopped by to meet some of the people who make this hospital special. "I was talking to a young man who is here waiting on a heart and kidney transplant, putting in the work to be prepared for that," said Carpenter. "I put so much into a race and it does change your life, but we [as drivers] are not fighting for our lives so to be here and see people who are putting in work to extend their life or give themselves a better quality of life, the perspective is humbling."
