History
HealthNet is a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) corporation providing primary care health services to the medically underserved.
Since 1968, HealthNet has improved the health status of Indianapolis’ inner-city neighborhoods by making quality health services accessible to everyone. From its beginnings in a converted bank building staffed by one physician, HealthNet has grown to a citywide organization with 18 locations and 433 employees. It is Indiana’s largest Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC).
Through its network of five community-based, comprehensive primary care health centers, one OB/GYN care center, a pediatric/adolescent care center, a maternal-fetal medicine center, a behavioral pediatrics center, eight school-based clinics, and support services, HealthNet annually provides affordable health care to more than 50,000 individuals – 75 percent of whom live at or below the federal poverty level. In 2009, the centers accounted for over 202,700 patient visits.
