“Brightpoint aims to ensure that uninsured and underinsured individuals in Northeast Indiana are aware of their eligibility for public health insurance programs and understand how to navigate the enrollment process."
“We’re honored to be able to support IHouse and the people whose lives they’re changing. When we see people like them, who are trusted and really gifted, on a faith-filled mission to serve others, we want to see the community invest in them.”
"I feel really lucky to be in this community that I think really gets it and is working to make a difference. If we want to be a community of choice, if we want that quality of life, we want more economic development, people to come and our community to thrive– this is the linchpin.”

“We all have to be very mindful that it's probably going to be at least 10 years until we start seeing actual changes in outcomes, such as obesity or food insecurity. As a state that took a long time to get where it got, it'll take a long time to begin to see betterment in that.”
“I know a lot of people — even my neighbors and friends — are having a hard time wrapping their brain around a refillery. It’s really not as difficult as some people think it is.

"We know resettling in a new country comes with a lot of challenges, and physicians can only do so much—which is why providing wraparound services is really important. The St. Joseph Community Health Foundation has done a great job with bringing partners together, so we didn’t have to bring in any organizations from outside this Fort Wayne community.”
“It is just huge. I know it sounds like a small part of the total project, but when you've got a $500,000 grant that can just be used for capital to build that project and not have to pay that back—that’s a big deal.”
Promise IT is a new, innovative program that guarantees admission to Indiana Tech for any Fort Wayne Community School student.
“We want our businesses to grow up and fly the coop. Just like an actual chicken and an incubator, we want them to outgrow us and get the skills they need to move on from us.”
