A Q UART ERL Y UPDAT E

Dear MHP and Shelby County CommunityWhat an exciting year of growth and change for Shelby County and the MHP

Community. I am honored to be a part of this new year of change. Prior to

becoming a team member for Major Health Partners, my career was developed

within the YMCA of both Indianapolis and Shelbyville. My roles included Wellness

Director, Personal Trainer, Community Health Advocate, Executive Director and

more! It was through those roles and experiences that my level of career

development grew exponentially.

Born and raised on a dairy farm in the small town of Hanover, Indiana, I learned

early on what it takes to succeed. It was through being on the farm with my family

and watching my parents that I learned just how important relationship building,

hard work, honesty, and a good hand shake really were. They may seem simple, but

to me, they were everything. I’d like to think that determination carried over to me

in my will to succeed. With that succession, I am truly humbled to have been

chosen to carry on in Angela’s footsteps. I wholeheartedly plan to give it my all to

fill her shoes as much as I can. She is an incredible woman and I know she will

continue to be an excellent mentor to me on this journey.

I am excited to take the foundation to the next level. With the support of my

husband Shea, my three children and Shelbyville as a whole, I know this next

chapter will be one for the books. The excitement to work with KaLeigh Lee, the

Manager of Philanthropic Operations, is unlike any other! I have a feeling we are

going to make a pretty great team! Thank you MHP and thank you to our

community for entrusting in me this role to be your new MHP Foundation Executive

Director. I will not let you down!

Breaking News: The MHP Foundation is now accepting grant

applications for nonprofit organizations who support MHP's

charitable initiatives.

Social determinants of health have been a central focus and mission addition

at MHP and the MHP Foundation for the past few years. There are so many

factors that contribute to healthcare, and we understand our organization

cannot act on all of them...

...but our community can and will.

We are excited to announce a brand-new grant application process for

nonprofit organizations also working on social determinants of health and/or

charitable initiatives related to improving healthcare.

Let's work together.

mymhp.org/grants

The simple, online Interest form is open for submission year-round. Projects

or ideas that match with our mission, inspire social determinants work, or

problem-solve for established community needs will be sent an application to

apply. Grant applications will be reviewed at the next MHP Foundation Board

of Directors' meeting.

We are thrilled to offer this opportunity to our nonprofit partners!

EMPLOYE E G R A N T S : T O GE T H ER WE ARE

The employee project grants have been off to an amazing start! Watching

employees act on patient need directly is an awe-inspiring experience. As a

quick reminder, each September, departments are invited to apply for grants

at the MHP Foundation to help them do their jobs better for patients. This is

an opportunity for them to try a new program, explore a new idea, or get that

just-out-of-reach budget item. Since we began Together We Are in 2019, we

have seen amazing patient care right along with empowered employees.

MWA members pay dues at varying levels. Each year, the group as a whole votes on ways to

use their dues to support patients at MHP. Members may choose to be financial contributors

only or to also be a program volunteer. We encourage and welcome any interested to become

a member of this amazing group!
