INDIANAPOLIS — The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation has awarded Eskenazi Health a grant to support an initiative that provides work experience for students with disabilities in their fields of study, experience that could potentially aid them in securing a job in the future.
The funds will provide support for the Eskenazi Health Initiative for Empowerment and Economic Independence, a partnership between Eskenazi Health and the Ball State University Disability Project in conjunction with the Office of Disability Services. The $22,900 Quality of Life grant is funded through a cooperation agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This is the second time Eskenazi Health has received a grant from the Reeve Foundation.
