No. The African Health
Initiative is similar to a health plan. We only treat people who
are enrolled in our program. We will not pay for treatment at
other hospitals, clinics, or medical treatment facilities.
We have one location for your
needs: The Community Clinic, which is on the fourth floor in the
same building as the African Center. We treat many basic
conditions and provide services like immunization shots,
physicals, lab work, preventive care...just to name a few covered
by our program.
Call our offices to make an
appointment with our doctor at 317 927 9779. Any further
information will be clearly given at the time of your call.
Treatment is free except for
some discounted costs associated with lab work. Filling
prescriptions may involve extra costs.
All Africans and their families
who are residents of the state of Indiana.
