Gennesaret Free Clinics was founded by Dr. James Trippi in 1988 to serve the medical needs of the homeless within Indianapolis. Over the years, Gennesaret Free Clinics has expanded to provide healthcare to those most in need and thrived through the willingness, dedication and hard work of over 200 volunteer health care professionals and others from our community. Today, Gennesaret Free Clinics has medical clinics in one shelter, a church, a mobile medical van and clinic sites in two food pantries – all staffed by volunteers. Other programs of Gennesaret Free Clinics include a Dental and Wellness Clinic, a Women’s Health Initiative, Health Recovery Programs for homeless men and women who have been hospitalized and need a place to heal,a Vision Care Program, and the Jamie Blackwell Loveless Annual Flu Vaccine Clinic. Gennesaret Free Clinics – a community response to a community need, dedicated to healing.
One of Gennesaret’s primary fund raising activities is Art of Beds. A event that brings GFC donors, volunteers, and staff together to celebrate the good work of this organization, raise money to continue its mission, and raise awareness of the major gaps in care that still exist within Indianapolis. This year’s event is on April 17 at the Crane Bay Event Center in downtown Indianapolis. For those that can’t attend, opportunities exist to support GFC by clicking this link.
Northwind Pharmaceuticals is proud to be this year’s Premier Sponsor of Art for Beds and we invite you to get involved in the GFC mission to serve those most in need in our city.
