James Wright – Hoosiers Care Military Mission

The Terre Haute South Rotary assembled a team in 2021 with the goal of bringing the Department of Defense program Innovative Readiness Training to the Wabash Valley.  Two years later over 120 military members from around the country arrived in Terre Haute for Operation Hoosier Care.

IRT Hoosier Care, which was led by the Indiana Air National Guard’s 181st Intelligence Wing under the leadership of Air Force Lt. Col. Jennifer McKay, operated the no-cost healthcare clinic with the twin goals of providing hands-on training for service members and affording no-cost services for the public.
