Regenstrief Institute President and Chief Executive Officer Rachel Patzer, PhD, MPH, was part of a contingent of more than 100 Central Indiana leaders in Washington, D.C., September 17-20 as part of the 2025 Leadership Exchange (LEX) delegation, organized by the Indy Chamber.

Dr. Patzer was joined by Regenstrief board members Virginia Caine, M.D., director and chief medical officer of the Marion County Public Health Department; Claire Fiddian-Green, MBA, president and CEO of the Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation; Phaedra Corso, PhD, associate vice president for research at Indiana University.

The delegation also included Dennis Murphy, president and CEO of Indiana University Health; Pamela Whitten, PhD, president of Indiana University; Sharon M. Moe, M.D., Co-Director of Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI); and Lindsay Weaver, M.D., Indiana state health commissioner, along with central Indiana leaders from across healthcare, higher education, government and business.

LEX is the Indy Chamber’s annual immersion into the economic infrastructure of another major metropolitan region. Each year, the program brings together business, education, philanthropy and government leaders to explore best practices and return with new ideas to strengthen Central Indiana.

The 2025 Leadership Exchange is focused on the intersection of health and economic prosperity. Delegates will study how clinical and non-clinical outcomes drive growth, what policies improve affordability and access, and how communities are working to close gaps in healthcare.
