PHP Foundation Grant Helps Support Clinic

Funds Benefit Cardinal Services and Easterseals Northeast Indiana

Fort Wayne, Ind. — PHP Foundation awarded a grant of $25,000 to Easterseals Northern Indiana to help support on-site clinics at Cardinal Services in Warsaw and Easterseals Northeast Indiana in Fort Wayne.

The purpose of the funding is to improve overall health and well-being for people with disabilities by promoting regular health monitoring, improving early detection and intervention for health concerns, and providing targeted mental health support.

The clinics at Cardinal Services and Easterseals Northeast Indiana provided care to about 650 people in 2024. With the grant, which provides partial support for the clinics from May 2025 through April 2026, the organizations hope to increase that total to 700.

The clinics at each location were established to help ensure people with disabilities served by the organizations have access to high quality medical and psychiatric care in a familiar, welcoming environment. Goals for the clinics include:

• Improving key health indicators such as BMI, blood pressure, and medication side effects
• Reducing external healthcare visits, minimizing logistical burdens for individuals and families
• Expanding mental health services

Easterseals Northern Indiana is the parent organization for Easterseals Northeast Indiana and Cardinal Services.
