Partnerships
I fear we don’t really know what a partnership is. We prefer it to be me getting to do what I want to do with your resources. Yet, here at Shepherd Community we have found what a real partnership can and should be.
I am proud to say we partner with one of the best medical facilities in the Midwest. Wishard Hospital is doing a wonderful job serving the community of Central Indiana. Just this week, in a partnership with Wishard, over 25 of our families received new car seats and a short tutorial on how to properly fasten a seat into their vehicle. This could save many lives.
Each week in a program called ‘Prescription for Hope’, both Shepherd and Wishard staff work with those who enter the ER because they are victims of crime, to help them locate services to improve their own situation and make sure they have access to a better life. This, my friends, is a true partnership. One that is about working together to better serve the community.
I know the leadership, many members of the medical staff personally, and they are fine leaders who are making a huge difference in our community. Their leadership and their commitment to partnerships for the sake of the community is why I am supporting the ballot issue to support Wishard’s plan to build a new hospital. They have my full support! Why? Because they will make it serve the whole community.
They make a difference in my neighborhood, and the whole city! Our families will be better served and quite frankly… that is how I want my tax monies being spent… serving our city. No better example of tax payer money being spent in the right way!
We are a world class city because of partners like Wishard… now let’s partner with them.
