Eskenazi Health and Health & Hospital Corporation of Marion County officially unveiled its newest and largest health center on East 38th Street on the far eastside of Indianapolis. We have been proud to work with Eskenazi, neighborhood residents, and local community organizations on the design of the campus, and we are excited to watch the public green spaces come to life when the neighborhood arrives. Guided by public input, the campus serves as a hub for community gathering, providing accessible care options and social amenities in one places.
Eskenazi has a long history of caring for the city’s most vulnerable population. “At Eskenazi Health, we know our greatest opportunity to improve the health and vitality of our patients and, by extension, the health and vitality of our community, lies in providing access to care that encompasses the whole person and the many factors contributing to good health.” said Lisa Harris, M.D., chief executive officer of Eskenazi Health.
The 12-acre landscape includes community plaza areas, a loop trail, healing gardens, native meadows and stormwater mitigation connected to Pogue’s Run, a farm and orchard, and two sculptures commissioned from local artists.
