​Jonathan Barada will be stepping down as President and CEO of the Bloomington Health Foundation (BHF) this fall. He has been with the local non-profit for nearly eight years.

Barada joined Bloomington Health Foundation, then-named Bloomington Hospital Foundation, in 2013. During his tenure, he led several successful endeavors for the organization, including fundraising efforts to expand the Hospice House, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and Trauma Departments at IU Health Bloomington Hospital, hosting a record-setting 20th anniversary of Hoosiers Outrun Cancer benefiting local cancer patients, partnering to fund the Stride Crisis Diversion Center for those experiencing substance use disorder, and overseeing $3M in grant support to benefit the health of the greater Bloomington community since 2018. Most recently, in partnership with the Community Justice & Mediation Center, BHF received a $675,000 national grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to help our community build a stronger engagement infrastructure, so that marginalized and underserved communities can be heard in healthcare policymaking decisions.

The City invites residents to nominate themselves or others for service on the committee by contacting Director of Public Engagement Mary Catherine Carmichael at [email protected] or 812-349-3406.
