REV INDY
IMPACT
Rev brings together food, fun and a night of celebration to kick off the greatest month in racing. The best part, though, is that it's all for a good cause. Since its beginning, Rev has raised more than $10 million for statewide trauma and critical care programs. As IU Health Foundation's largest annual fundraiser, these funds provide care for drivers and patrons at the IU Health Emergency Medical Center located at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and for patients across Indiana in need of critical care.
REV FUNDING
Rev funds are enhancing IU Health's statewide trauma system. Proceeds have benefitted:
• Expansions to the IU Health LifeLine fleet
• The LifeLine team's statewide prehospital immediate and emergent care
• Drivers and fans at the IU Health Emergency Medical Center at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
• Injury prevention education and outreach
• Statewide trauma education and training
• Patient & Family Support Services
• IU Health physical therapy teams and nursing units' enhanced patient care
• And more!
IMPACT ON INDIANA
Each year, Rev raises funding and support for Indiana University Health trauma and critical care programs at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and all over Indiana. Funds contribute to equipment and training that serve race patrons and drivers, as well as communities across the state, through programs like the IMS Emergency Medical Center, IU Health trauma and neurological trauma services, Lifeline, and Emergency Clothing Program.
ABOUT IU HEALTH PHILANTHROPY
IU Health values its patients, patients’ families, team members and the communities they serve. The philanthropic services funded by donors help support the needs of IU Health and advance the IU Health mission – to improve the health of their patients and communities through innovation and excellence in care, education, research and service – every day.
PARTNERSHIP WITH IMS
IU Health Methodist Hospital and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway have a relationship dating to the racetrack’s earliest days and, like the Indianapolis 500, are poised to move forward for years to come. From the hospital’s first motorized ambulance in 1910 to the first liftoff of the LifeLine helicopter in 1970 to today, IU Health Methodist Hospital and IMS have worked together to promote the safety of race car drivers and Hoosiers alike. As we approach the 108th Running of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing, Rev is a celebration of the continued partnership between these influential Hoosier institutions.
FUTURE PLANS
The IU Health Trauma System has provided an invaluable resource for injured children and adults in Indiana. The ability to ensure seamless transition in care from time of injury to definitive care has saved many lives. The proposal demonstrates opportunities to fill in clinical gaps in coverage to ensure the most comprehensive trauma system for those injured in Indiana. These enhancements will provide valuable resources to our providers, patients, and families. The IU Health trauma system has a clear direction with a track record of success and improved patient outcomes. IU Health senior leadership has supported the development of the trauma system, but there is a lingering need for dedicated statewide funding to continue the growth of the nation’s largest and most comprehensive trauma system.
