Member Benefits
Please join the members of the Indiana Health Industry Forum and be part of the collective voice of the state’s health science industry. Together, we will continue to build statewide connectivity, advocate for member interests, develop workforce skills and build Indiana’s economy by providing strategic vision.
Networking
IHIF provides networking assistance between members and the industry broadly. In our role as a convening organization, we strive to provide a variety of networking opportunities and support programs such as our Life Sciences Lunch Series and Annual Members Meeting. IHIF also works with individual members to identify specific resources and provide referrals.
“Our Company needed to relocate to larger premises within a restricted time frame. We quickly realized that we would require professional assistance and contacted IHIF for advice. We were put in touch with exactly the right broker and a laboratory moving specialist that took care of every detail of moving our lab. We would highly recommend IHF members to consider the member referral network to save time and energy while also minimizing costs and stress associated with solving business critical workplace solutions.”
-Paul A. Hyslop, PhD, President and CEO Arkley BioTek LLC
