Southern Indiana Community Health Care (SICHC) is a non-profit health care organization that has been committed to providing a broad spectrum of primary health care to Orange and Crawford counties. In 1974, a group of nurse practitioners and physicians moved to Paoli after completing their medical training in Indianapolis. They were motivated to serve others by providing important basic health services to a medically under served, rural community. With the financial help of a Robert Woods Johnson grant, they ambitiously established Comprehensive Health Care in Paoli. The building housed a pharmacy, medical services, counseling, a dentist, and a health educator. In the next decade they expanded by adding an office in English and Orleans. They also contributed to the start up of local projects such as WeeCare child care services, WIC and a child health nutrition and immunization project.Over the 40 years since it's beginning, there have been changes in personnel and the addition of 2 other sites (Marengo and French Lick), but the basic mission remains...the provision of quality, broad reaching health care to the local communities. This takes the form of office care for infants and children, pregnancy care, and adult health care, including when it extends into hospital and nursing home settings. Our providers have continued their commitment to ongoing service in many ways, both professionally and in community support through health education in schools, assisting with the schools' sport physicals and head injury program, working with recycling/creation care, promotion of the WOW wellness program and in the planning for a community garden. As we look to the next decades, we continue to prepare ourselves for responding to ongoing community needs.
