Eskenazi Health Foundation is pleased to announce a transformative step towards enhancing health equity across Indianapolis with the renaming of the new Eskenazi Health E. 38th Street health center to Eskenazi Health Thomas & Arlene Grande Campus. This achievement is made possible by a generous $2.5 million lead gift from Thomas and Arlene Grande.

The Grandes made their lead gift to Eskenazi Health Foundation’s Beyond Barriers campaign, which focuses on improving life expectancy and health equity across Central Indiana by tackling the barriers to care for our most vulnerable community members. As longtime advocates for Eskenazi Health, with a special focus on the east side of Indianapolis, the Grandes share a deep belief that everyone should have access to high quality care close to home.

“A healthy community is one where every neighbor can thrive, with access to healthy food, mental health and physical health care,” said Tom and Arlene. “We are delighted that this new facility and its programs will help members of this neighborhood achieve their healthiest life.”

The state-of-the-art Eskenazi Health Thomas & Arlene Grande Campus, scheduled to open in April, represents a beacon of hope for neighborhood residents. The 95,000-square-foot health center will be the most innovative and community-focused health facility on the east side of Indianapolis, offering a wide range of services, including primary care, mental health support and community resources, all under one roof. With a strong focus on improving health equity through leveraging strategic community partnerships, the Eskenazi Health Thomas & Arlene Grande Campus will serve as a hub for holistic wellness, fostering strong community connections and promoting healthier lifestyles for all.

As we celebrate this milestone, we extend our profound gratitude to Thomas and Arlene Grande for their unwavering support and leadership. Their generosity will leave a lasting impact across Indianapolis, ensuring a healthier, brighter future for all of our east side neighbors for generations to come.
