Community Hospital Anderson became part of the organization in 1996, but its roots in the community go back much further—Madison County residents joined together to bring healthcare closer to home and opened the hospital in 1962. Ever since, Community Anderson has been highly attuned and attentive to local needs.

Focused on improving the lives of Madison County residents, Community Hospital Anderson is expanding its on-campus farm to address local food insecurity. Madison County ranks 12th out of Indiana’s 92 counties for food insecurity, and more than 35 percent higher than the national average.
The first seedlings were planted at the Community Farm in 2018 on a half-acre of land at the west end of the campus. That initial growing season yielded 5,400 pounds of fresh produce for local families and vegetables for the hospital kitchen, and flowers for patients. Community Hospital Anderson was the first hospital in Indiana to have an in-ground farm located on its campus.
In 2022, with funding from the Community Hospital Anderson Foundation, CHA broke ground on a $2.5 million expansion at the Community Farm. The expanded Farm encompasses a total of 3 acres of land, which is projected to yield 30,000 pounds of food a year to be shared with local food pantries.
“The ultimate goal is to get healthy fruits and vegetables to people who need them,” explained Tom Bannon, CHA’s vice president of community engagement and chief foundation officer. “The more food we can grow at the Farm, and distribute free of charge, the better we can help address the food insecurity in the community.”
One of the crowning features of the Farm expansion is a beautiful community center named for Preetham Jetty, MD. The venue will allow CHA to provide cooking classes to help educate families on how to utilize the Farm’s produce.
“Providing education on how to use the healthy ingredients produced by the Farm is every bit as important as producing the food,” Bannon said.
The Jetty Center also will be a hub for school field trips as children explore how food is grown. The center will be available for banquets and other events.
In addition to the Jetty Center, the Farm also has added a gazebo, a garage that includes a wash room and cooler, and a greenhouse. The greenhouse has been named in honor of Michelle Cook and Betsy Welsh, whose idea to start the employee garden led to the creation of the Community Farm.
The final elements to the Farm expansion will be the planting of fruit trees and berries, and installation of walking paths.

Operation Undies is an annual campaign conducted by Community Hospital Anderson employees. Employees work together to collect new, packaged underwear for Madison County school children. The campaign began as a way to help school nurses with emergency supplies or for when a student is in need.
Employees donate new, packaged underwear from sizes children’s 4 through adult small. They also have the option to donate money to the Foundation, and fellow team members will purchase the needed underwear. The collection takes place during the month of July (it did not take place in 2020 due to the pandemic).
Through the generosity of all of our employees and friends of Community Hospital Anderson, in 2019 we donated 2,860 pairs of underwear to 20 Madison County elementary schools, surpassing the previous year's total of 2,700.
If you want to contribute to Operation Undies, we welcome you to visit our Foundation website and make an online, tax-deductible gift.
Since 2001, this annual event has gathered winter garments for those in need, helping keep residents of Madison County warm. Over the years, more than 18,000 coats have been distributed, thanks to the caring hearts at Community Hospital Anderson and supporters in the community.
In 2022, 750 coats, hats and gloves were delivered to residents of Madison County. Due to the pandemic, the event was held as a drive-thru for social distancing, and masked volunteers fulfilled orders directly to customers in their vehicles.
See details from the 2020 event in our blog and learn how you can donate coats to this worthy cause.
Coats of Caring: Winter Warmth
Started in 2016, this first-of-its-kind bicycle sharing program aimed at helping those facing economic issues including homelessness. The hospital foundation purchased 30 commercial-grade bicycles that are parked near transitional housing facilities—residents use the two-wheeled transportation to connect with jobs, healthcare and a brighter future.

Affiliated with The Milk Bank, a nonprofit donor human milk bank located in Indianapolis, Community Anderson will now make pasteurized human milk available for newborns. Community Anderson will also serve as a milk depot, a location where breastfeeding mothers can drop off donated milk.
