Southeast Indiana Health Center

Southeast Indiana Health Center **Free Clinic**
Free Health Center of Franklin and Ripley County. Call us today with any questions.

Background of SEIHC
The biggest benefit of the Southeast Indiana Health Center is providing care to those who cannot afford it. The medical care that may be pieced together with visits to emergency rooms and urgent care visits will allow for one location to receive primary care for those who are struggling to pay for any care. According to Healthy People 2020, disparities in access to health services affect individuals and society. Limited access to health care impacts people's ability to reach their full potential, negatively affecting their quality of life. Barriers to services include lack of availability, high cost and lack of insurance coverage. These barriers to accessing health services lead to unmet health needs, delays in receiving appropriate care, inability to get preventive services and hospitalizations that could have been prevented. Through the Health Center, we hope to eliminate some of these barriers and the problems that they care create for those trying to receive needed healthcare. Many communities have benefited from the Volunteers in Medicine (VIM) clinics which have been found to enhance the community, not detract from it. We think the medically-under served in our area are also deserving of the benefits that a VIM clinic can bring to Franklin and Ripley County.

Free summer meals for kids in Franklin county!

Free Summer Breakfast & Lunch For Kids – Franklin County, IN

“Lunch Ladies” Theresa and Barb are serving meals from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm to any child age 18 and younger as part of the 2025 “summer meals to go” program. The women work for Franklin County Community School Corporation, but they remind everyone that children do not need to be a student to get free breakfast and lunch on Mondays through Fridays at five locations. Children visiting the county qualify too. (Photo was taken at the picnic shelter outside the Cedar Grove Fire Department.)

Menus vary daily. Lunch is a hot meal that can be pizza, cheeseburger, chicken nuggets, spaghetti, taco, taco salad, ham & cheese sandwich or calzone, with choice of white or chocolate milk. Plus, one vegetable such as carrot sticks and one fruit. 95% of the fruits will be fresh and, on this day, they were juicy, ripe strawberries or grapes. Included are condiments and plastic ware, if needed.

The breakfast can be pancakes, muffin, French toast, waffle, cereal, donuts plus milk and one fruit.

Please visit only one site per day.
Locations: Franklin County High School in Brookville
Laurel Elementary School
Mt. Carmel Elementary School
Andersonville Community Center
Cedar Grove Fire Department

On one of the first days of free meals, the high school served over 275 children – each getting a breakfast and a lunch to take home.

“Yes, we will be here on July 4th with free meals for kids,” said Barb and Theresa. They ask that you please share this information so that more children can have a tasty, healthy and free breakfast and lunch this summer. Meal program ends July 25, 2025.

Background of SEIHC The biggest benefit of the Southeast Indiana Health Center is providing care to those who cannot afford it. The medical care that may be pieced together with visits to emergency rooms and urgent care visits will allow for one location to receive primary care for those who are struggling to pay for any care. The Health Center should help alleviate the stress on the hospital’s emergency care and minor care and private medical offices by treating some of the non-emergency, non-paying patients.
