WELLNESS GROWS IN COMMUNITY.

This morning, BU Wellness Network + Growing Places Indy are bringing wellness OUTSIDE and into the community through BU Thrive Market on the Go 10:30 am to 12:30 pm!

Wellness is more than one thing. It’s access to fresh produce. Movement. Yoga. Mindfulness. Sexual health. Prevention. And connection.

Research shows that regular movement can improve sleep, reduce anxiety, support heart health and lower the risk of several chronic diseases. Yoga and mindfulness can also support stress management and mental and emotional well-being.

And we’re bringing it all together in one community space.

🥕 FREE fresh produce
🧘🏾‍♀️ Yoga + mindful movement
🌿 Time outdoors
❤️ Wellness resources
🧪 FREE HIV testing
🤝 Community connection

Open to EVERYONE, with intentional access for community members living with HIV, compromised immune systems, chronic health conditions, or other barriers to healthy food and wellness resources.

📍 Meet the BU Wellness Network + Growing Places Indy teams this morning and again October 15!

Because sometimes improving quality of life starts with simple things: fresh food, fresh air, movement, knowing your status, and good people around you.

Knowing your status is part of taking care of YOU. ❤️No symptoms? Fear or stigma? Not sure where to go? We’re here to ma...

Shoutout to Medical Case Manager Damon and CHW Bri for another night of community outreach and HIV testing!

We’re grateful for our BU Wellness Network Mobile Testing Unit, which helps us meet people where they are with confidential HIV testing, prevention resources, and connections to care. Every other week, our dedicated staff provide nighttime outreach, distribute BU Goodie Bags, and help reconnect people who may be out of care with the medical treatment and support they need.

Thank you to our team for showing up, continually building trust, and bringing essential services directly into the community. As the weather gets colder, we’re also collecting hygiene items, coats, hats, gloves, scarves, and other cold-weather essentials to distribute during outreach. Monetary Donations can be made through our website or actual can dropped off at our office location.
