How would you best describe the work your organization does?
Meridian Health Services is a progressive healthcare organization specializing in “whole person” health through integrating physical, mental and social well-being. Our organization’s broad spectrum of integrated care includes primary medical care, dental health, women’s health, OB/GYN services, pediatrics, school-based health clinics, pharmacy services, addiction and recovery programs, counseling and therapy, behavioral health, social services and more. By focusing on a broader spectrum of healthcare, we can offer a well-rounded approach for happier, healthier patients.
Volunteers from I&M and Meridian work together to set up a community light display around the holidays.
What audience does your organization commonly serve?
Our organization serves people of all ages in over 40 counties throughout Indiana. Last year, we served 40,743 patients through our 52 facilities.
How would you describe your organization’s partnership with I&M?
I&M has been a valued partner for Meridian for over ten years. Through their support, we have been able to provide several free events and services to our local communities. Most recently, I&M served as our presenting sponsor for Flu-Lapalooza and Holidays at Gresham. Flu-Lapalooza is a one-day free flu shot clinic available in 13 communities throughout Indiana and our holiday event offers free light displays for our communities to enjoy, while offering hope, cheer and unity during the holiday season. Both events are incredibly important to the health and well-being of our communities.
In what ways have you worked with I&M during this partnership?
Lighting the holiday season, this past year, I&M collaborated with our organization as we prepared for our Holidays at Gresham event. We opened an I&M volunteer day that saw 40 I&M team members ready to work. This team brought a bucket truck to help hang lights for some of our tallest displays. They also set up and moved fences for pathways, hung bows and lights and assisted with various holiday décor. Because of their assistance, Holidays at Gresham yielded its best and brightest year yet!
