Health First Indiana (HFI) is the state initiative that will transform public health in the state.
Created by Senate Enrolled Act 4, passed by the 2023 Indiana General Assembly, it provided $225 million in funding through the budget bill for local communities to prioritize public health and safety. Health First Indiana focuses on offering core public health services, including infant health, childhood lead screening, chronic disease prevention, trauma and injury prevention and more.
The Indiana Chamber and its Wellness Council of Indiana (WCI) offer their full commitment to support the public health efforts of the state. We ask each of our member companies to join us in pledging their support. (See press release for more details.)
