Page 3 - Eskenazi Health Foundation - 2021 Annual Report

DEAR FRIENDS,
Thank you all for your dedication and commitment to Eskenazi Health and Eskenazi Health Foundation during this past year. Recent times have been difficult for everyone, but your support has ensured that Eskenazi Health has been able to continue to provide the highest quality of care to all the residents of Central Indiana.
For the last 164 years, Eskenazi Health has always led the way as our community faced local, national, and global challenges. This commitment hasn’t changed. In fact, it is our belief
that we have emerged from this pandemic stronger. Eskenazi Health has continually adapted to meet the needs of our patients. That’s worth celebrating. Despite all hardships, there remain many hopes to embrace as we move forward.
Hope is not a given. We must strive for it. Each and every day, people do what they can to create the best world possible. Everyone at Eskenazi Health – from our physicians, nurses, therapists and social workers to our environmental services and facilities staff – embrace this notion.
Eskenazi Health and the Eskenazi Health Foundation are eternally grateful for your commitment to providing exemplary health care for everyone in our community. Your support has given hope to people and has enabled patients across Central Indiana to rekindle their drive to move forward. As we look back at some of the highlights of the last year, we do so in the spirit that it might drive us forward. In light, and in hope, we want to recognize the true joy that has shone through the darkness of the times. We are overjoyed to share with you the 2021 Annual Report of the Eskenazi Health Foundation. It is our hope that this look back will allow you to look forward into the possibilities of the future.
With gratitude,
