Providing the maximum practicable opportunity for all

Wishard provides excellent care indiscriminately, without regard for race, social status, income or ability to pay. It is a hospital for all of the people, built and approved by a population as rich and diverse as Indianapolis itself.

Wishard aspires to reflect the diversity of its patient base and the city itself through contracts with and participation by minority-, women- and veteran-owned business enterprises (M/W/VBEs) in the project to build a new Wishard.

Wishard is committed to providing the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in competition for any and all procurement and contracts for the Wishard Hospital Replacement Facility Project to the full range of business enterprises, which include M/W/VBEs and where possible, Wishard will work to provide like opportunities for businesses owned by persons with disabilities.
