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. 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.

Services
We are fortunate to have a team of dedicated professionals, including doctors, physician assistants and nurse practitioners leading every clinic. In addition to our medical volunteers we have many nurses, and clerical support personnel that offer countless hours of their free time. Financially we depend on donations from individuals and business entities to be able to keep providing services.
Recent changes to insurance premiums, requirements to obtain insurance and Market place options usually mean a lower monthly premium for health insurance but a higher out of pocket expense. Here at SEIHC we recognise that sometimes a person will forgo medical attention due to the inability to afford the copay or out of pocket expenses and / or simply cannot meet the required deductible before any services is paid for.
