UIndy Partnership
The University of Indianapolis campus in the South Region showcases a far-reaching higher-education partnership, centered on a clinical pavilion where students and faculty can work alongside Community professionals who provide health and wellness services on-campus. The partnership results in hands-on learning opportunities, internships, even research connections such as the Community Health Network Research Symposium held on campus in 2016.
Nursing Academy
The Nursing Academy is a unique academic partnership between Community Health Network and the University of Indianapolis that offers an accelerated path for students to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree.
Community Gardens
Carson Heights, University Heights and Bethany community gardens, located on or near the University of Indianapolis campus, supply fresh produce to local residents. The projects are part of an ongoing partnership with the University of Indianapolis and Community Health Network to provide health and wellness opportunities to the Indianapolis southside.

Little Food Pantry
The SoIndy Health & Wellness Action Team is helping Southside neighbors connect with the resources they need right in their neighborhood. Little Food Pantry is a community building strategy to increase access to food and hygiene items for SoIndy community members. The idea is similar to the Little Library concept, "Bring what you can, take what you need". Each pantry will have non-perishable food, self-care products and toiletry items. In 2018, SoIndy residents renovated a NUVO newspaper box that a group of young artists painted. The box is installed in the University of Indianapolis' University Heights community garden.
