IPHCA Conference 2025

Our conference is over for another year ... Thank you to everyone - sponsors, exhibitors and especially attendees - who made IPHCA Conference 2025 - the Heart of Healthcare - such a fantastic event!

Inspiration and Insight

The conference opened with an unforgettable keynote from Ben Glenn—“The Chalkguy.” Through storytelling and art, Ben reminded us of the power of creativity, resilience, and connection in our work. His message set the tone for a conference filled with optimism and action.

Attendees had the opportunity to explore more than
20 educational sessions covering leadership, operations, workforce development, and clinical excellence.

Highlights included:

• Harnessing Data and Digital Tools to Safeguard Revenue and Strengthen Patient Relationships
• Bridging Health & Community:
  The YMCA’s Clinic-to-Community Partnerships for Diabetes Prevention
• Tomorrow’s Healers: Advancing Primary Care Clinical Training in Indiana
• Foundations of Grants Management: Building the Framework for Effective Stewardship
• Growing VBC Capabilities with the
  Azara Solution Suite
• Leading With Heart: Empathy, Authenticity & Self-Care on the Front Lines of Health Care

Each session offered practical strategies for navigating today’s challenges—ensuring health centers remain strong, sustainable, and mission-driven for years to come.

Celebrating Champions of Care

A highlight of the event was the Champions of Health Care Awards Luncheon, which recognized individuals and organizations that exemplify leadership, innovation, and dedication to community health. These honorees embody the heart of our movement—serving patients with compassion, advocating for equity, and driving improvement in every corner of the state.

Their stories remind us that progress in health care is not just measured in data or dollars—it’s measured in the lives touched and communities transformed.

Collaboration and Connection

Beyond the keynotes and sessions, the conference hall was alive with conversation and collaboration. Health center leaders connected with peers, policymakers, and partners during networking sessions and throughout the bustling exhibits, which featured dozens of organizations offering innovative tools and services to support health centers.  The evening reception, sponsored by Athelas by Commure, provided an opportunity for attendees to reconnect with old friends and make new ones, enjoy live music in the lounge, and participate in games in the game zone.

The sense of unity was unmistakable. Whether discussing workforce challenges, technology solutions, or new models of care, attendees left with renewed purpose and shared commitment to the people we serve.

Looking Forward

As we close another successful conference, we carry with us a simple truth: the heart of health care is not found in buildings or systems—it’s found in people.

In every clinic, every patient interaction, and every partnership, we witness the collective effort to ensure that all Hoosiers—regardless of their background or circumstances—have access to compassionate, high-quality care.

With the lessons and inspiration from this year’s gathering, we look ahead to 2026 ready to continue leading with purpose, innovation, and heart.
