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.

If you or someone you know could use a homecooked meal delivered straight to your door for FREE on Christmas eve contact the Batesville United Methodist Church

This season can be a difficult time for many, so in the spirit of Christmas, and in faithful pursuit of our mission to share both food and God’s love with our community, we will be preparing and packaging holiday meals next week, and delivering these to members of our community on the morning of Christmas Eve.

Through this outreach, we hope to reach shut-in neighbors, those who may be alone on Christmas, and anyone who might find comfort in a home-cooked meal during the holiday.

SOUTHEAST INDIANA HEALTH CENTER BOARD OF DIRECTORS Front Row: Pete Mack, Paul Tyrer(Manager), Bev Schwier, Lisa Baudendistel. Back Row: Dr. Steve Glaser, Brad Mehlon, Geralyn Litzinger, Jim Saner. 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.
