IU Health Visiting Specialist Service in Paoli Offers World-Class Health Care…Locally
It takes about one hour to drive from Paoli to Bloomington or Louisville and nearly two hours to drive to Indianapolis. Why should you have to drive so far to get quality specialty health care? IU Health Paoli Hospital believes you shouldn't.
IU Health Visiting Specialist Service in Paoli continues the tradition of high quality care by providing community-based specialized care that is world-class right where you live.
"Many patients were spending precious hours traveling to other cities to get the health care that they needed. Our visiting specialists are making those kinds of inconveniences a thing of the past. Families are spending less time on the road and more time at home. That is always a good thing," stated Marny Hammond, RN, director of the IU Health Visiting Specialist Service in Paoli. "Our local family physicians have built a strong bond with the visiting specialists and work closely to provide outstanding care for their patients."
Visiting Specialist Services offers useful events for the community - things like smoking cessation classes, car seat checks, prenatal classes and health screenings. One important weekly offering is Dining with Diabetes - a hands-on nutritional program for people with diabetes and their families.
"The patients are treated in Paoli by world-class physicians who are trained in several fields of specialty. I am very thankful to be able to offer this service to the many patients of this area. At IU Health Paoli Hospital, we pride ourselves on patient satisfaction and quality service. The visiting specialist clinic enables us to fulfill that commitment," concluded Hammond.
