In 2025, Community Fairbanks Recovery Center marks 80 years of addiction treatment to our community. For 80 years, Community Fairbanks Recovery Center — formerly Fairbanks Recovery Center — has stood tall as a pillar of hope for people with addiction. In the same year that World War II ended, Community Fairbanks Recovery Center opened its doors. Today, more than 6,000 people are served by Community Fairbanks Recovery Center each year; many would be unable to enter treatment without support from donors like you. Would you like to make a gift to help or to honor a loved one’s recovery? Your gift of $80 to mark this major anniversary can help support access to proven, evidence-based treatment for more people with substance use disorder.

Our Work

Since 1976, Community Health Network Foundation has worked to raise and steward financial support for Community Health Network, a non-profit health system providing a full continuum of care through more than 200 sites and hundreds of physicians throughout Central Indiana.

Our mission? To support Community Health Network’s commitment to improve the health of the communities we serve.

All operating expenses of the Foundation are covered by Community Health Network, while generous sponsors fund the overhead costs of our annual fundraising event The Giving Gig. Thanks to this support, 100 percent of all donations made to Community Health Network Foundation benefit patients and help to fulfill the mission of Community Health Network.

From how Community was founded on philanthropy to testimonials from grateful patients recently impacted by Foundation programs and services, our storybook brings to life the work happening thanks to the generosity of donors across Central Indiana.

Honor your caregivers by sharing about your experience or invest in programs offered solely because of generous donors like you. No gift is too small, and your support can help us help people of all ages. Together, we can help patients find healing and hope. Together, we can improve and save lives. Together, we can build a stronger foundation for health in Indiana.
