Meaningful impact takes more than strategy — it takes people.

Our ASPIN team gathered to celebrate the work happening across our organization and the connections that make it possible. From equipping individuals with the tools and training to serve their communities to walking alongside people as they navigate complex health systems, this team shows up every day ready to make a difference.

The celebration also included recognizing a special milestone — the 19th work anniversary of ASPIN CEO/President Paul Conrad. We’re grateful for his leadership and continued commitment to ASPIN’s mission!

Taking time to celebrate together is a reminder that the work we do in our communities is strengthened by the relationships we nurture within our own team. Both are foundational to meaningful impact.

We’re proud of this team and grateful for the opportunity to continue strengthening communities across Indiana.

As Black History Month comes to an end, let’s take time to acknowledge how Black history is deeply woven into the foundation of American healthcare, public health, and community service.

Black physicians, nurses, midwives, researchers, advocates, faith leaders, and community organizers have built systems of care, expanded access where none existed, and strengthened communities through leadership, resilience, and service. Their contributions have shaped the health landscape of this country in lasting and measurable ways.

Black History Month is an opportunity to recognize that legacy — and to acknowledge the continued impact of Black professionals and community leaders improving health and supporting families across our nation today.

At ASPIN, we focus on strengthening the health workforce and supporting individuals and communities facing barriers to care — including communities where access has historically and systemically been limited. Our commitment to strengthening community-based care across Indiana is rooted in the understanding that lasting health outcomes are built through trust, representation, and local leadership. We honor that legacy and we remain committed to advancing it.

ASPIN was proud to attend the Indiana FCCLA Family, Career and Community Leaders of America State Leadership Conference at the Horizon Convention Center in Muncie today!
The conference brought together student leaders from across Indiana for sessions, competitions, and the Career, College, and Community Expo — creating valuable opportunities for youth to explore future education and career pathways.

Throughout the event, ASPIN was able to connect with students and attendees to share information about our Community Health Worker (CHW) Certification training opportunities. ASPIN Outreach Coordinator and Training Instructor Michele Glenn represented our team, engaging directly with students about accessible CTE training opportunities and pathways into behavioral health careers.

We’re grateful for opportunities to connect with future leaders and increase awareness of career pathways available to students across Indiana!

Advancing whole health starts with caring for the people who make our mission possible.
ASPIN is honored to have earned 2026 Platinum recognition through the Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health by Mental Health America, the nation’s leading recognition for employers committed to advancing mental health in the workplace.

Platinum represents the highest level of distinction following a comprehensive evaluation of workplace culture, mental health benefits, caring beyond compliance, and holistic wellness at work. With an overall score of 93%, ASPIN ranks among a distinguished group of employers nationwide meeting the highest standards for mentally healthy workplaces. Only two in five organizations achieve Bell Seal recognition at any level.

This recognition highlights our intentional and sustained efforts to foster a workplace culture rooted in wellbeing. As an organization dedicated to advancing whole health across Indiana, we believe that commitment must begin internally. Supporting the wellbeing of our team is foundational to the impact we make in the communities we serve.
We are proud of our team and remain committed to fostering a workplace where they feel supported, valued, and empowered.

It's still ! ✨ CTE is a broad term for education that combines academic and technical skills with the knowledge and training needed to succeed in today’s labor market.
At ASPIN, our Community Health Worker (CHW) program reflects that model — blending structured online instruction with dedicated instructor support, mock skill development, and opportunities for field placements and Registered Apprenticeships aligned with in demand Healthcare & Human Services careers.

As we expand this pathway, we’re working with employer partners to assess capacity for enhanced Work-Based Learning and are proud to partner with Greater Lafayette Career Academy and Blue River Career Center to pilot CHW CTE programs beginning Fall 2026.

We are actively seeking opportunities to collaborate with orgs, schools, employers, and community partners interested in exploring what CHW CTE pathways could look like for the learners you serve.
Let’s work together to create career-connected learning that leads to real opportunity.
