CITY SNAPSHOTS

WELCOME

1 GREENFIELD

Hancock County sits just east of Indianapolis, giving residents the opportunity to experience small-town living with all of the amenities of living in close proximity to the state’s Capital city.

Named one of the top 4% healthiest counties in the country, residents thrive from both access to a healthy lifestyle and the quiet of rural small-town living.

As Hancock County’s largest city, Greenfield boasts a vibrant community that draws people from all over East Central Indiana.

From restaurants and shopping, to events for adults and kids alike, this bustling Indianapolis suburb is experiencing tremendous growth with no signs of stopping. Named one of the healthiest communities in the United States by U.S. News & World Report , residents benefit from access to outdoor amenities, nationally recognized healthcare facilities, and more.

Local favorites include Greenfield’s Main Street shopping and dining district, Tuttle Orchards, Pennsy Trail, Hometown Holidays in December and Riley Festival in the fall.

2 FORTVILLE This quaint suburb calls itself the “quintessential Midwestern town,” and for good reason. Known for its front porches, small shops and welcoming people, it is quickly attracting families from all over Indianapolis’ metro area. Even as the population grows, Fortville is intent on keeping its small-town charm and appeal. It is considered part of the “Health and Heritage Region,” alongside Greenfield, and has been named one of Indiana’s stellar communities.

Fortville favorites include Piney Acres Farms, Flat Fork Creek Park, and Libby’s Ice Cream & Gifts.

3 McCORDSVILLE The second largest municipality in Hancock County, and located just south of Geist Reservoir, McCordsville has a mission to expand its horizons while maintaining a close-knit community. This beautiful town is currently experiencing significant new development, particularly around its emerging downtown and residential growth.

Local favorites include Daniel’s Vineyard, adorable shops, and plenty of activities for the whole family.

4 NE W PALESTINE This Hancock County city prides itself on having a safe and smalltown character and unmatched quality of life for residents. With a new comprehensive plan that focuses on maintaining historic charm while also encouraging growth to welcome new residents, New Palestine has a sustainable and well-intentioned vision for the future, while also honoring its past.

Local residents love the big feel of small-town events like New Palestine’s Fall Festival, Friday night football games and local parades.

5 WILKINSON + SHIRLEY

The epitome of small-town, next door neighbor charm still exists in places like Shirley and Wilkinson, both with populations well under 1,000 people. With proximity to Indianapolis, Greenfield, and all the benefits of being situated in Hancock County, these two small towns, no matter their size, boast many amenities.

Local residents of Hancock County flock to this area to see Shirley’s Octagon House and visit the strawberry festival every summer.

WORLD-RENOWNED CARE IN YOUR BACKYARD Did you know? Hancock Health is a member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, a carefully vetted and select group of independent health systems that are given access to Mayo Clinic’s world-renowned knowledge and resources. At Hancock Health, our top priority is for patients to feel heard and to have a personalized experience from the moment you walk in our doors. Supported by the Mayo Clinic, we are able to provide additional resources that our providers can use to confirm diagnoses and determine treatment plans, giving you complete peace of mind at no additional cost. Learn more and book an appointment with a Hancock Health provider supported by the Mayo Clinic. (Scan QR code.)

MAXIMIZE YOUR BENEFITS AND MAKE YOUR BEST HEALTH POSSIBLE IN 2026

As the year winds down, give yourself the gift of good health to start 2026 off on the right foot! Many healthcare plans reset on Jan. 1, so if you’ve met your deductible (or are close), this is a smart time to book preventive visits, surgeries (or surgical consults if your schedule doesn’t allow for the surgery this year) or follow-ups you’ve been delaying. Book your appointment with one of our primary care providers by calling 317-468-4600.

SURVIVE THRIVE THROUGHOUT THE HOLIDAY SEASON Despite the fun and festivities, it’s common to experience stress around the holidays. From family stressors to unhealthy eating to financial constraints, here are some tips from your friends at Hancock Health to help you thrive not just survive - this season.

UNPLUG FROM YOUR PHONE + SOCIAL MEDIA Constant connectivity and playing the comparison game on social media can zap happiness. Set boundaries with your phone, putting it away at a certain time in the evening or starting your day with phone-free mornings.

SET REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS Know your limits - time, money and energy and set boundaries to prevent your finances and mental health from taking a back seat. It’s OK to say no to one more holiday party or gift exchange to prioritize alone time or saving money.

PRACTICE GRATITUDE Remember what’s most important to you this holiday season - your health, your family + friends, your pets, your experiences - and spend a few moments every day expressing gratitude. This can help shape your perspective during a time of year that can feel overwhelming or stressful.

Rudo Mashindi, MD, is a primary care provider at Hancock Family Medicine Gateway and was recently featured as the cover star on the Indianapolis Monthly Top Docs issue! Being named an Indianapolis Monthly Top Doc is a huge honor, which was awarded to 43 Hancock Health physicians this year. Here, Dr. Mashindi answers some frequently asked questions about women’s health: WHAT ADVICE CAN YOU OFFER WOMEN IN PERIMENOPAUSE? Women often experience physical and emotional symptoms as they enter menopause, including irregular menstrual cycles, hot flashes, night sweats, and brain fog. I always recommend that women view this as a transformation rather than a breakdown. A few things women can do to support this transformation include maintaining a healthy + balanced diet complete with calcium, protein and whole foods, incorporating stress management practices and ensuring you’re sleeping 7 - 8 hours a night, and adding regular strength training and aerobic exercise to reduce muscle loss while improving bone density and mood.

Q & A

WHAT SHOULD WOMEN UNDERSTAND ABOUT GLP-1S BEFORE CONSIDERING TAKING THEM?

EAT THIS, NOT THAT

Instead of letting sugarplum overload leave you in a silent night food coma, swap in festive bites that sleigh without regret. With some simple swaps, yule enjoy your holly jolly holidays without derailing your health goals.

GLP-1 medications, originally for diabetes, can aid weight loss, but they aren’t magic pills. Side effects and more serious risks exist, and weight often returns if treatment stops. Long-term success typically comes when those medications are paired with strength training, good nutrition, and healthy lifestyle habits, making them powerful tools in a larger strategy than quick fixes.

COMMUNITY MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

No matter what you’re passionate about, there’s a local charity that would benefit from your generosity this holiday season. Donate your time, talent or treasure to help support community members (and animals!) in Hancock County. Here is a small sampling of the non-profits serving our communities: ANIMAL WELFARE Hancock County Humane Society

The Hancock County Humane Society is an animal shelter staffed entirely by volunteers and funded entirely on donations from the local community, and dedicated to finding permanent, safe, and loving homes for pets.

Partners for Animal Welfare Society P.A.W.S. programs are funded completely from donations, grants, and fundraising events.

With the exception of the cats at the PetSmart Adoption Center in Greenfield and the Cattery, all rescues are in foster homes.

COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT

Fortville Area Resource Mission (FARM)

Hancock Hope House Hope House provides a safe environment, positive support, and advocacy for homeless men, women, and families on their path to self-sufficiency.

CHILD WELFARE

Zoey’s Place

Zoey’s Place helps children and families during and after a report of child abuse, neglect, sexual assault, or other crimes against children.

Nameless Creek Camp’s mission is to increase the appreciation of nature and the enjoyment of the outdoors by creating year-round recreational, educational, and camping opportunities for the youth, families, and communities of Hancock and surrounding counties.

FOOD SECURITY Hancock County Food Pantry Hancock County Food Pantry secures and distributes food to the needy in an effort to alleviate hunger in Hancock County and beyond.

Kenneth Butler Memorial Soup Kitchen This soup kitchen serves all community members regardless of their race, religion, gender, orientation, medical diagnosis, mental capacity, or criminal history by providing their immediate need for nutritious meals.

Meals on Wheels Meals on Wheels helps the citizens of Hancock County maintain an independent lifestyle through the delivery of nutritious meals in accordance with prescribed dietary needs, and provides a point of personal contact with the community.

WOMEN HELPING WOMEN

When it comes to community involvement, few people embody the spirit of Hancock County like Sandy Miller. After retiring, she jumped headfirst into volunteer work— serving on the board of the Hancock Health Foundation for nine years (currently serving on the Signature Gifts committee), which included many years participating on the Women Helping Women committee. One of Sandy's favorite volunteer duties is serving lattes at the Hancock Regional Hospital coffee shop on Thursday mornings. Outside the hospital, Sandy has served on numerous other boards, including the board of the Community Foundation of Hancock County, where she currently serves on the Thrive Committee. She also serves on the boards of the Greenfield Central School Foundation, the Friends of the Theater, and the Talitha Koum Women's Recovery House. Over the years, Sandy has enjoyed volunteering at the Soup Kitchen, the ReadUp Program, and all of the activities of Tri Kappa, where she has been a member for over 40 years.

"I enjoy the variety of volunteer opportunities in our community," said Sandy. "One day, I can help make sure that people do not go hungry. Another day, I raise money to help women live sober lives, another day I help with strategic planning to secure the future of a non-profit that makes a difference in our community. I had a wonderful career teaching and practicing law, and now it is time to give back and pay it forward. I like people, so everyone I meet in a volunteer opportunity is someone else I can get to know and appreciate."
