Hospital/Clinic

In 1950, Leland Brown, MD, and Jack Walker, MD, opened an orthopedic medicine office in downtown Muncie, Indiana. At that time, the polio epidemic was in full swing, and the doctors were very busy. Although the number of cases decreased with the Salk vaccine, the orthopedic practice remained and treated some of the less complicated problems. As the office grew, Drs. Brown and Walker invited other orthopedic surgeons to join them in practice. In the 1970's the group started treating more athletes with injuries and began their professional relationship with Ball State University.The individual physicians adopted the name Central Indiana Orthopedics in 1987, and just a few years later opened its second office, located in Anderson. In 2000, the physicians of Mid America Orthopedics joined the Central Indiana Orthopedic Group. This meant there were 3 offices in Anderson at that time, so needing more space for all offices to be under one roof, Central Indiana Orthopedics Anderson office moved into the Ambulatory building across from St. John's Hospital.Currently Central Indiana Orthopedics consists of 21 physicians (orthopedic surgeons, primary care sports medicine, physiatry, and neurosurgery), 6 physician extenders (physicians assistants, nurse practitioners), and over 200 employees make up our TEAM.Central Indiana Orthopedics provides musculoskeletal care in our Anderson and Muncie facilities as well as our satellite locations in Elwood, Upland, and Fishers.
