Since the inception of the Hendricks Regional Health Foundation Grants Program in 2011, the Board of Directors has awarded $525,545.26 to 120 grant recipients to enhance patient care, comfort, and safety at Hendricks Regional Health.
The Hendricks Regional Health Foundation Grants Program is administered by a grants committee appointed by the Board of Directors. The committee reviews applications submitted by HRH associates and physicians, conducts interviews, and presents their recommendation to the Board of Directors for approval each March and September.
Most of the funding comes from the Hendricks Regional Health Foundation’s Annual Golf Outing in addition to unrestricted donations that the Foundation receives throughout the year. The 2020 Golf Outing, which was held on August 31 at the Country Club of Indianapolis, raised a record-setting $112,100.
