HealthLinc expands access to exceptional health care in Michigan City.

 

Patients consistently perceive the HealthLinc experience as one of exceptional quality and satisfaction. Without hesitation, they refer families and friends. Those committed to improving health and reducing disparities see HealthLinc as a valued partner in the communities we serve. Employees choose to work at HealthLinc and are engaged because of the care we give patients, the team collaboration, and the servant leadership demonstrated throughout the organization.

 

Each year HealthLinc conducts a Community Health Fair where it provides no cost well-child checkups and sports physicals.  In addition they give out free backpacks and supplies,  This year the Rotary Club of Michigan City provided $2,000 for Michigan City Wolves spirit wear in the form of a t-shirt.
