HABITAT FOR HUMANITY 2 NEW HOMES IN LAWRENCE Writer & Photographer / Kathi Moore

There are two new homeowners just off 47th Street in Lawrence, thanks to the efforts of the Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity.

For the first time in Indianapolis, one of the homes was built solely with female crews. Women from all walks of life worked together to fund and build the Habitat home for a Lawrence family in need.

Female volunteers raised the funds and then, in just 21 days, raised the walls for the entire Women Build project.

“There’s something really special about having all these women come together,” said Andrea Brummett, president of The Pabulum Group and Team Leader for one of the build days. “What we can accomplish together as a group of women is amazing. It’s been efficient, pleasant and fun. We had a blast!”

Her team consisted of women from Anthem, Roche, Halo Salon, Allegiant, Freedom Mortgage and her own human resources management company. Each team of women was responsible for fundraising and events leading up to the actual build, as well as wielding the hammers and paintbrushes.

In fact, the funds were completely raised for the build far in advance of the deadline, thanks to the effort of more than 300 volunteers.

A CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION, HABITAT OPERATES UNDER A SIMPLE MISSION:

Habitat for Humanity is especially proud of the Women Build. It put the tools into women’s hands to fight poverty housing.

Women make up 50 percent of Habitat for Humanity International’s volunteer force; yet often because of lack of training, they account for less than 15 percent of workers on the construction site. The Women Build program was established by Habitat to encourage the involvement of women in the construction of these homes.

There is a second Habitat home just next door to Breyona’s, built by volunteers from 20 different United Methodist Churches in the Indy area. Deanna Johnson is the new owner and will live in the house with her daughter and granddaughter. Her plan is to leave the house to her daughter, Breanna, someday.

Women crews have already built more than 1,500 Habitat for Humanity houses within the United States, and in dozens of other countries. The projects provide an environment in which women can feel comfortable learning skills they might not otherwise have the opportunity to learn.

It was especially meaningful to the home’s new owner, Breyona Brown that her home was built by women. Brown is a medical assistant at IU Health, and was thrilled to be chosen to help build her own home for her and her son Robert.

“Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.”

Both new owners participated in the building of their homes, volunteering 300 “sweat equity” hours as per the Habitat for Humanity agreement, including various “home ownership courses.”

The owners will officially receive their house keys and the homes will be dedicated in mid-October, dependent somewhat on the weather. At that point they assume a small monthly mortgage payment and move forward with their lives as new Lawrence homeowners.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL? MEET THE YOUNG MAN WHO JUST MIGHT BE THE BEST PREP PLAYER IN INDIANA playing Big 10 football for the Wolverines.

“It was important to me to find the best place He knew.

He’s just a humble kid.”

While a student-athlete at Park Tudor School, Darrin’s physique began to fill out Darrin is arguably the best player in and his athleticism jumped off the chart.

Indianapolis, and may well be a candidate Desiring a more competitive opportunity, for Indiana Mr. Football. His team plays Darrin enrolled in Lawrence Central High in the hyper-competitive Metropolitan School. Now, at age 17, he’s a strapping 6 ft., Interscholastic Conference (MIC).

He’s a hard worker and makes everyone around him better.

He’s always trying to bring his teammates up and lead the program in intangible ways.”

As an example, Darrin helped coordinate a visit to Gleaner’s Food Bank last winter where LC football players packed food for holiday distribution. added to the mix.) “I think it’s an exciting time to play football in Indiana, Indianapolis and especially Lawrence Township.”

Kirkland, who wears jersey number 34 and plays middle linebacker, is a big reason for LC’s recent success. “He’s big, he’s strong, he’s fast,” Richman says. Darrin’s 40-yard dash time is 4.58—very quick for a young man his size. He’s consistently ranked in the top ten nationally at his position. “He’s the kind of kid you never have to take off the field. He’s a football player. Period.” For that and other, more important reasons, Richman says he’s not surprised Michigan came calling. “He’s an easy kid to coach.

Richman says it was impressive how Darrin handled the attention from big-time colleges, and the continuing spotlight that comes with being a Michigan recruit. For that, he credits Darrin’s parents. “Nothing goes to his head. Obviously they’ve installed great values in him,” says Richman. “When the recruitment got really heavy, he still had a lot of high school to stay focused on,” says Darrin’s mom. “I still wanted him to be a kid.” And apparently Darrin’s teammates understand the media spotlight. “Nobody’s perfect, but he’s done a nice job handling all the pressures that come with being a high recruit,” says his coach.

Kirkland has racked up impressive awards over the course of his athletic career including MVP honors at several national football camps. This January, he’ll participate in the U.S. Army All-American Game in San Antonio with 90 of the nation’s best high school football players. “I’m ready for the next chapter,” offers Darrin. “A little nervous—just for starting college, not for the football part. I’ll get comfortable with it after the first few weeks.”

Unsurprisingly, Kirkland dreams about the NFL (observers say he has the skill set.) “If it happens, it happens,” Darrin understands.

“I just want to be the best football player I can be, and if that end’s up in the NFL, that would be great.” But first, there’s plenty of work to do. After all, he hasn’t even stepped foot onto the college gridiron. Stephanie, however, notes that her son has always had big dreams. And, why not?

CATCH HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL ACTION THIS FALL IN PERSON OR ON TV Lawrence Central head coach Jed Richman says football is an important activity for high school kids—on and off the field.

“There’s something special about the school spirit you develop and the camaraderie—just the atmosphere that’s created.” Fans of Lawrence Central, Lawrence North and Cathedral have some great gridiron action to look forward to, including these significant contests: Lawrence Central vs.

Warren Central – Sept. 12 Ben Davis – Oct. 10 Carmel – Oct. 17 Lawrence North vs.

Lawrence Central – Sept. 5 Ben Davis – Sept. 26 Warren Central – Oct. 3 Cathedral vs.

An exclusive partnership between HomeTown Sports & News (HTSN), WRTV6 and the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference (MIC) will bring viewers the MIC Game of the Week each Friday night. The nine-game schedule will air live at 7:00 P.M. on HTSN and live-streamed online. Repeat showings will occur throughout the weekend on HTSN. Here’s the MIC Game of the Week schedule: Sept. 5 – Carmel at Center Grove Sept. 12 – Center Grove at Ben Davis Sept. 19 – Ben Davis at Warren Central Sept. 26 – Warren Central at Pike Oct. 3 – Ben Davis at Carmel Oct. 10 – Carmel at Warren Central Oct. 17 – Lawrence Central at Carmel HTSN play-by-play announcer Greg Rakestraw is ready for some football! “When I go to a lot of these high school football games in the metro area—if people want to have a bit of a small town feel, football has it. This is different than other major metro areas where it’s not one game that’s going to pull in 10,000 people, but amazingly, there are fifteen to twenty games around here that draw 4,000 people. So many of these high schools are so well supported.” And, Rakestraw adds that LC puts on one whale of a barbecue on game nights!

When you “THINK SNOW!” you should conjure up images of the Indianapolis Ski Club.

While Indianapolis may not be synonymous with snow skiing, there is a group of nearly 300 snow enthusiasts who are members of the Indianapolis ski club.

The club has been in existence for almost 60 years and still promotes friendships and great ski trips!

Club President Lisa Sindelar said that is exactly what the club is all about—making friends and skiing great mountains. “The bonus is the hassle free travel that comes The US trips start at a little more than $1,300 per member – more for European trips. Trips are for members only, but it’s easy to join and with being a club member,” Sindelar said. the club always welcomes new members!

Sindelar said trips are planned with almost everything included, For more information, go to Indyskiclub.org. from lift tickets to transportation to lodging.

“It’s just a great way to enjoy a ski trip,” Sinedelar said.

Lisa joined the club in 2002 after talking to a club member in the winter sports section of Galyans.

Pat Carlini is an experienced television/radio personality associated with NBC in Indianapolis and the syndicated Bob & Tom Show. She can be contacted at patcarlini.com.

“I didn’t know there was a ski club in Indy,” Sinedelar said. “I went home, looked up the website, attended a social event and joined!”

Lisa has since married a club member and has enjoyed several trips with the club.

Fellow skier and Lawrence resident Joan Naffziger has been a member of the club since 1992 and has been a volunteer “go-to” person on several trips.

“It’s so much fun traveling with a group of fellow skiers and friends.”

Naffziger said, “It makes it much more bearable when you get stuck in a blizzard in Minneapolis, too!”

This year the Indianapolis Ski Club has six trips planned for the upcoming season in the western United States and Europe.

In January, they kick off their line up of trips at Banff in Alberta, Canada.

Trips to SteamBoat, Winter Park and Beaver Creek in Colorado are scheduled in February. Also a European trip is planned to Cortina, Italy, and Madonna di Campiglio, a popular ski resort in Northeast Italy, scheduled for March 2015.

The group’s final trip of the season offered is Big Sky Montana— a favorite by many—in March.

MIDWEST PAIN & SPINE ADDS NEW PHYSICIAN TO ITS TEAM GREAT NEWS FOR ACUTE OR CHRONIC BACK OR SPINE PAIN SUFFERS! Writer / Neil Lucas

Dr. Steven Levine

Dr. Steven Levine is pleased to announce Midwest Pain & Spine has added Dr. Kent B. Remley to its team of physicians dedicated to providing the highest quality non-invasive diagnosis and treatments for chronic back and spine pain sufferers. Dr. Remley joins Levine and Dr. William Hall at Midwest Pain & Spine.

Dr. Remley, a graduate of IU School of Medicine, is an Interventional Neuroradiologist specializing in minimally invasive spine surgery as well as diagnostic and therapeutic injection procedures of the head, neck and spine.

Prior to practicing in Atlanta and Indianapolis he served as an assistant professor of Radiology and

Otolaryngology and director of ENT/ Head and Neck Imaging at the University Of Minnesota and was a clinical instructor in Neuroradiology at the University of California, San Francisco.

Dr. Remley’s area of special expertise and research focuses on the treatment of osteoporotic spinal fractures utilizing minimally invasive surgical techniques.

This means that Dr. Remley is specially trained to treat fractures caused by osteoporosis, a disease in which the bones become extremely porous and are thereby subject to fracture, and heal slowly.

As many of you may know, this occurs especially in women following menopause, but can also arise with men.

In addition, Dr. Remley is a well-published writer and lectures nationally in the fields of minimally invasive spine surgery and interventional neuroradiology. He serves on the scientific advisory board for Benvenue and is a consultant for Joimax

He is board certified by the American Board of Radiology and the American Board of Interventional Pain Physicians.

With respect to Dr. Remley joining Midwest Pain & Spine, Levine stated,

“I welcome Dr. Kent Remley to our Midwest Pain and Spine practice.

Dr. Remley is a great addition to our practice dedicated to Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery. As an Interventional Radiologist he adds the dimension of vertebral compression fracture treatment (Kyphoplasty) and Vertebroplasty. He also offers Percutaneous Tenotomy procedures for Hip and joint pain. Additionally, he performs a new advanced procedure targeting migraine headaches, utilizing a patented SphenoCath devise. The addition of these procedures as well as many more will allow us to offer superior improvement in our patients lifestyles.”

“I am pleased to join Midwest Pain

and Spine,” Dr. Remley says. “I have 25 years of experience as an Interventional Neuroradiologist diagnosing and treating disorders of the head, neck, and spine. I am also board certified in Interventional Pain management, specializing in spinal cord stimulator therapy, interventional treatment of migraine headaches, and interventional spine pain management. Special areas of expertise include elderly spine care, using minimally invasive surgical management for treatment of spinal fractures and spinal stenosis.”

T

en years ago, Sue Zilisch peered out of her Broad Ripple home and thought, “This neighborhood is ripe for a home tour, one that celebrates the history of the community through the stories of its houses.”

So—Sue and a small army of friends “accosted” home owners and scheduled the first “Bungalows of Broad Ripple” tour.

As researchers conducted interviews and delved into abstracts of titles, city directories and genealogical sites to bring out the stories that were hidden within the walls of the tour homes, the name soon morphed into the Broad Ripple Historic Home Tour.

This year’s celebratory event (Saturday, September 27 from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.) features a home that appeared on the first tour—its claim to fame being that it was a Sears “kit home.” For many years, the Sears Roebuck Company offered floor plans and building materials to prospective home owners.

Building components—from lumber to nails—were numbered and shipped to the customer, who either hired a contractor or took on the task himself.

Another feature of this year’s tour is the recently opened Broad Ripple Hotel. A late 1880s brick house and an early 20th century bungalow have been tied together to form a charming boutique hotel.

teve Cooke of Noblesville is one of countless Ford Hoosier Outdoor Experience success stories.

The sixth annual event, sponsored by Central Indiana Ford Dealers, is Sept. 20 and 21 at Fort Harrison State Park in Indianapolis, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days. Admission is free, as are parking and all activities.

Cooke attended the first event in 2009 with the goal of learning about fly-fishing.

He took a brief lesson and was hooked. He followed up with professional lessons from Patti Beasley of Reel Women-Reel Men fly club in Indianapolis. He now fishes the White River in Central Indiana for panfish and Brookville Lake’s tailwaters on the Whitewater River in southeastern Indiana for trout.

Although fly-fishing is not part of this year’s event, about 50 other outdoor activities will be offered by some 120 grassroots organizations.

All activities take place in the 1,700-acre state park. Activities available will range from archery to mountain biking and more.

Information on trolley routes, a listing of all events and directions to parking areas can be found at HoosierOutdoorExperience.

IN.gov. While it’s not required, visitors are encouraged to register at the website before they attend. This helps in planning the event.

Trolleys from the State Fair roll through the grounds, and activities are clustered to make each stop action-packed.

The programming is essentially the same both days. Participants are welcome to come either or both days.

Beat the Fall Rush & Make your Backyard Dreams a Reality

“Fly-fishing is my outlet,” Cooke said. “I like the serenity of being in nature.”

Organized by the Department of Natural Resources and Indiana Natural Resources Foundation, this is Indiana’s largest handson outdoor recreation event. Last year a record 32,000 people participated. The idea is to get more Hoosiers interested in outdoor recreation.

The concept came about because nationwide participation rates in many traditional outdoor sports have been declining. In Indiana, the number of licensed hunters and anglers has remained relatively stable over the past few decades. This sounds comforting, said Bourke Patton, director of the Indiana Natural Resources Foundation, until you consider that the number hasn’t kept pace with the state’s overall population growth.

Conservationists worry that if the trend isn’t reversed, fewer Americans will care about protecting natural resources. “The whole point is to get people to embrace the outdoors,” Patton said. “It’s about taking people who have little outdoor knowledge, or even no outdoor knowledge, and showing them what’s available and how to do it.”

PROJECT PINK 2014 FASHION WITH A PURPOSE Writer / Janet C. Striebel Photographer / Toni Folzenlogel

You are invited to the 3rd Annual Project Pink Fashion Show, which is runway-ready. This fundraiser for Susan G. Komen® Central Indiana is Thursday, Sept. 18.

This year, the show is moving to a new venue—City Market in downtown Indy.

Doors open at 6 p.m. with appetizers, desserts and cash bar at Tomlinson Tap Room with access to shopping.

A limited number of VIP tickets are available for purchase. VIP tickets allow guests to attend an exclusive meet-and-greet cocktail hour and more. Go to komenindy. org/project-pink to purchase tickets and see details.

The fashion show begins at 7:30 p.m., and features newly created apparel made from repurposed Race for the Cure® T-shirts. Each unique piece has been designed by students from The Art Institute of Indianapolis.

The T-shirts aren’t the only regenerated materials. This year, committee members have constructed distinctive decorations from posters, adding a more creative flair to this upscale experience.

Central Indiana. “This allows us to put all our funds raised toward our mission to end breast cancer. Of donations received, 75 percent of net proceeds stay in Central Indiana to fund lifesaving breast screenings, treatment assistance and survivor support to underinsured and uninsured Hoosiers; while 25 percent of net proceeds are invested in international research seeking causes, improved treatments and cures for breast cancer.”

There will be a new panel of judges this year that will select the winning design including long snapper Matt Overton from the Indianapolis Colts and Helen Wells of the Helen Wells Agency. Also models will have a chance to win a popular vote by soliciting $1 donations from friends and family members in the audience.

“We changed our venue this year in hopes to grow this event,” Schmitz said. “We wanted to expand the appeal to a broader audience. We’re excited to have City Market, an exceptional setting with a modern, chic, urban feel that captures a new look for Project Pink.”

Live entertainment will be provided by DJ Gabby Love with Crush Entertainment.

The emcee will be Tom Britt, founder and publisher of Geist and Fishers Community Newsletters.

The models are local survivors, co-survivors and celebrities such as Pippa Mann, who ran a pink car in the Indianapolis 500 this year Project Pink has raised more than $20,000 to partner with Komen to help raise money for Komen Central Indiana in the past two and awareness. years and has touched the lives of many local breast cancer survivors. In July, Komen “Since we do not have a budget for Project held an open call for survivors interested in Pink, we rely on in-kind donations to make modeling for Project Pink. They submitted this event happen,” said Sarah Schmitz, stories and reasons why they wanted to walk Operations Manager of Susan G. Komen on the runway.

One survivor, Jennifer Spees, expressed her interests and passion for the event.

“I will celebrate five months cancer free on Aug. 19,” Spees said.

“I was 44 when diagnosed, in the best shape of my life, as I was training for my first marathon. I had no history of breast cancer, and my genetic testing was negative. I have two daughters who now know a great deal about breast cancer and are advocates for a cure. They were two of my biggest cheerleaders throughout chemo, surgery and radiation. Having cancer, I knew I had to show them that you can do anything and be strong doing it! I would love to teach the girls another life lesson, that no matter how tall or how

much hair you have, you can be a model and be proud of yourself.

I would like to be considered for the Project Pink Fashion show to send a message to my girls and the world you can do anything.

Never give up.”

“It is stories like this one that encourage and inspire us to make Project Pink bigger and better every year,” Schmitz said.

DIRT IS TURNED ON A HIGH-PROFILE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT IN LAWRENCE

The city is kicking in $1.7 million in economic development money—an investment it believes will pay future dividends. “I think the use of anything that creates jobs, that ultimately makes people want to be here and grow here, is a worthy investment,” explains Tim Joyce, Lawrence economic development director.

He notes that the tax base that’s created will ultimately be city dollars.

Writer / Neal G. Moore

Work has begun on what government and economic development officials say is a critical part of the long-held vision to create a true city center for Lawrence. Fort Harrison Office Suites is a mixed-use retail and office project under construction at 56th Street and Lawrence Village Parkway.

A public-private partnership between the Ft. Harrison Re-use Authority and Fishersbased developers Yeager Properties and RealtyQwest-Baldwin is responsible for the 35,000 sq. ft., $5.5 million project.

Additional first-floor space and the entire upper story will consist of offices designed specifically to incubate Lawrence businesses. “The concept of the office suites is really a benefit for beginning offices to grow, and it allows people with smaller businesses to start and grow, as well,” says Scott Yeager, president, Yeager Construction. “It allows businesses to come in and share amenities such as conference rooms, a lobby and so on.”

According to the RealtyQwest-Baldwin website, approximately 90 suites will be available, with rent that includes taxes, Jockamo Upper Crust Pizza restaurant has insurance, common area maintenance, signed as a ground-floor tenant. The popular janitorial, utilities, high speed internet eatery (with locations in Irvington and Old access, WIFI, and shared fax/printer Town Greenwood) will be welcomed by resources. Phase One—the offices Lawrence diners, hungry for another sitportion—is scheduled to launch early down dining option. “Oh, I think it’s going next year. Jockamo’s will follow a couple to be a game-changer to kind of kick-start of months later with its opening. Space is Lawrence into a different direction,” says available for an additional ground-floor Re-use Authority Director Freddie Burris. tenant—perhaps another restaurant.

In the meantime, plans are said to be moving forward on development of about 70 cottage-style homes near Triton Brewery.

“That’s going to be the next big thing,” says Burris. “It’ll be for empty nesters or firsttime homeowners. Three bedrooms, some with basements.” Burris adds that inquiries from other interested developers are on the upswing. “I’ve always said the next dig would be the catalyst for the fort,” says Lawrence Chamber of Commerce President Jessica Tower. “I think the dominos are going to start falling in line.”

Presuming that Harrison Office Suites is a hit, plans call for an adjacent, matching building forming a gateway into the village center. “The people of Lawrence have waited a long time for a spectacular place in the community—for it to be recognized as a place for them to come spend time with each other,” offers Joyce. “This is one of those things that’s a community builder.”

“My brothers and I grew up in Lafayette and community was important.

Here in Lawrence it is amazing for me to feel that sense of community again. We love our church, walking the trails of Ft. Ben and eating out,” Keller commented, adding how schools and businesses add to that community pride.

“Being a realtor in Lawrence allows me the opportunity to step into people’s lives and help make buying their home a memorable experience,” Keller said. “I want to be your key to Lawrence real estate.”

GOOD PEOPLE, GOOD CAUSES: THE BRIDGE FUND

Writer / Kathi Moore

Sometimes a charity exists in a covert manner, quietly funding the needs of others, allowing them to thrive better in the community.

Such is the case with The Bridge Fund, a Lawrence-area nonprofit organization that is loosely attached to the Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township Foundation and “connecting deserving students with opportunity.”

Three years ago, Chad McCune’s father, Dr. Bob McCune, DVM passed away, leaving behind a legacy of volunteer work with the Lawrence Exchange Group, a service group. He challenged Chad and longtime friend Mark Pressley to continue his work with youth locally rather than globally.

The men started hearing stories. Stories about good kids who made decent grades despite often having to overcome some enormous odds against them.

That’s what The Bridge Fund does. It opens small accounts at Lawrence Central, Lawrence North and McKenzie Center to work with the counselors and teachers in each school. An athlete who can’t afford cleats might be granted the money to buy some, caps and gowns are frequently funded, SAT/ACT fees, calculators, specialty tools like stethoscopes and even prom tickets.

But it’s very covert. Pressley is adamant about not embarrassing the kids. The Bridge Fund wants to give a boost to otherwise good and deserving teens, and allow them to participate in school activities.

“If every person helped just one other person…” Pressley suggested. “We concentrate on those kids who will have a better chance at success if they’re more involved at school, as not all can afford to pay the fees for extra-curriculars.”

Otherwise, there are no specific guidelines. Recipients are usually identified by counselors or teachers as, “kids you’d personally reach into your pocket to help.”

One pair of siblings walked more than a mile to high school each day from their motel-home, worked two jobs each, yet still managed “I can’t say no,” admitted Pressley. to maintain a B average in their classes.

A counselor told them about another teen who came into her office one morning and as they talked, he consumed half of the Twizzlers in her jar. When asked if he had eaten, he told her the free lunch at school was the only meal he got every day. Still another student was living last winter in an unheated barn.

“Many of these kids quit school by their junior or senior year to go to work,” Pressley explained. “We want to be their advocate, to help them stay on task through graduation.”

If you’d like to help, donate at BridgeFundIndiana.org. Or join them on Sept. 18 at the 2nd Annual Golf Outing at Pebble Brook with help from Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri. The golf outing honors Dr. Bob McCune and all dollars go into The Bridge Fund.

Kathi Moore, a career marketer and public relations director, has a natural curiosity that leads her in many different directions and helps to provide ideas for her writing. She and her husband have 3 children, 3 dogs and 3 cats.

LOCAL MEDICAL PRACTICE OFFERS COMPREHENSIVE AND AFFORDABLE MEDICAL SERVICES Writer / Lena Lucas

It has been six years since Dr. E. Alfredo Argote, a physician and orthopedic surgeon from Colombia, opened his first office on Shadeland Avenue. In February the practice moved to its current location, 8202 Clearvista Pkwy., across from the Community North campus, to accommodate an expansion in services.

ProMed has experienced positive growth with thousands of patients being served every year. As an independent practice, a dying breed in the age of mega hospital conglomerates, ProMed Family & Procedural Medicine relies primarily on word of mouth advertising that spreads like wildfire from one happy patient to another. The reason for natural growth is their innovative approach to patient care.

Dr. Argote completed his Family Medicine Residency at Community Hospitals of Indianapolis. He has also completed his Orthopedic Surgery Residency and fellowship in the Hospital for Joint Diseases in New York. Dr. Argote is a family physician and a surgeon with extensive expertise in sports medicine, arthroscopy and joint reconstructive surgery.

Multidisciplinary medical training allowed Dr. Argote to have a more comprehensive approach to practicing medicine compared to a typical family physician. Dr. Argote strives to implement cutting-edge technology in his practice, oriented for patient convenience, quicker diagnosis and therapeutic actions with the concept of a “one stop shop.”

On-site services for his patients, such as X-rays, ultrasound, laboratory testing, medication, pain injections, IV infusions, and a very impressive list of small surgical procedures, significantly reduce patient cost. When you come to ProMed, you will not spend

30 minutes waiting to be seen and the doctor will spend the time each case requires to understand individual health situations and to perform treatment.

Other services offered include: women’s health and hormonal balance, cardiovascular risk prevention, cholesterol, diabetes and hypertension control, obesity treatment, arthritis treatment, sports injuries, neck and low back pain, fractures and casting, lacerations, sutures, diagnosis and treatment of skin lesions, scar corrective cosmetic procedures, Gynecomastia, vein sclerotherapy, and more.

Not surprisingly, ProMed can reduce your medical bill 40 to 70 percent when compared with hospitals, in addition to saving a lot of your precious time. Also, if you have a high deductible insurance or if you are uninsured, significant cash payment discount is anticipated.

A bilingual English- and Spanish-speaking staff is convenient, and it is not unusual for Spanish-speaking patients to drive 100 miles just to be able to see a well-respected doctor who speaks their language.

Dr. Argote’s approach to medicine is a passion and is patient centered, diagnosing and treating the root cause of diseases in an affordable and timely manner. Naturally, Dr. Argote’s patients have become his raving fans and ardent supporters.

Visit ProMed at the East location: 8202 Clearvista Parkview Suite 5B, Indianapolis, 46256; or the West office: 21 Beachway Suite A, Indianapolis, 46224, or visit at promedindy.com. Call 317-429-0088.
