Jane Pauley Community Health Center (JPCHC), a leading provider of accessible and affordable healthcare across central Indiana, is excited to announce its expansion into Howard County with Kokomo Pediatrics. Formerly North Central Indiana Pediatric Center in the Community Health Network, Kokomo Pediatrics continues the practice’s record of high-quality, comprehensive primary healthcare for children in the local community with the same trusted providers.
This expansion represents a significant milestone in JPCHC’s mission to provide high-quality healthcare to underserved populations at a low cost. As a Federally Qualified Health Center, JPCHC ensures that families in Kokomo have access to essential medical services without the financial burden often accompanying healthcare. The practice will serve patients with or without insurance, regardless of their ability to pay.
Marc Hackett, CEO of JPCHC, shared his excitement about this new initiative, stating, “We are thrilled to bring our services to the Kokomo community. By managing this trusted pediatric practice, we are not only expanding our reach but also continuing our commitment to making healthcare more affordable and accessible for families. Our goal is to provide top-tier care to children and their families, ensuring they can live healthy lives without worrying about the costs.”
The location serves various health needs, including routine check-ups, vaccinations, sick visits, and preventive care. It also offers financial assistance programs to ensure families with limited insurance options or low incomes can receive the care they need. As a community health center, JPCHC offers integrated behavioral health services, a food pantry (coming soon), low-cost prescriptions, and licensed insurance navigators at no cost to patients.
“We believe every child deserves access to the best possible healthcare, regardless of their family’s financial situation,” said Hackett. “This expansion is just the beginning of our effort to ensure that families in Kokomo have the resources and support they need to thrive.”
