YMCA Integrates Services With VA T
he OrthoIndy Foundation YMCA at Pike in Greater Indianapolis will be the first YMCA facility of its kind to offer tra- ditional YMCA community program- ming alongside clinical services for veterans and special programming for servicemembers and their fami- lies, thanks to a $3.5 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. “The opening of the new OrthoIndy Foundation YMCA at Pike is a major step forward for Indianapo- lis and underscores the tremendous importance of providing the key health services our [servicemembers] and their families need,” says former Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard, a 23-year veteran of the Marine Corps. “The Indianapolis metro area is home to tens of thousands of military veter-
ans, and this new facility will provide that important space to better serve these members of our community.” A full-service facility for the en-
tire community, the new OrthoIndy Foundation YMCA at Pike is sched- uled to open in 2018 and will partner with the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis. Roudebush staff will provide spe- cialized medical services at the new facility in 5,000 square feet of space dedicated to veterans. Services planned include physical therapy,

In addition to medical services
offered by the VA, the YMCA will use space at Pike and in other India- napolis metro locations to provide special programs for veterans as well as servicemembers and their families. These include financial health train- ing, job support, wellness coaching, adaptive sports, and nutrition and healthy cooking classes. For more information, visit
