IU Day of Service comes to Coxhall Gardens in Carmel

IU Health North and Saxony team members recently took their mission to help others outside hospital walls.

The hospitals completed their 16th annual Days of Service Friday at Coxhall Gardens in Carmel. Team members volunteered their time to work on several projects, including improving children’s play areas, landscaping, planting trees, cleaning inside park buildings, and more.

Days of Service is an IU Health volunteer effort each year for all team members across the state to come together and make a difference in the communities IU Health serves.

Caitlin Vendely, a Community Outreach consultant for IU Health’s Indianapolis Suburban Region, helped organize the event with the Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Department.

“IU Health’s annual Days of Service empowers our team members to go above and beyond their typical responsibilities to volunteer in the community,” she said. “By accomplishing projects to improve our local parks, we’re making our community more conducive to physical activity, which in turn will help make Hamilton County a healthier place.”

This is one of multiple Days of Service projects team members are completing this year. Some of the other volunteer opportunities include a Habitat for Humanity build, putting together care packages for seniors, and helping out at the Trinity Free Clinic’s Run for Wellness.
