Join our Community Community Health Network was created by our neighbors, for our neighbors. Over 60 years later, “community” is still the heart of our organization. It means providing our neighbors with the best care possible, backed by state-of-the-art technology.

It means getting involved in the communities we serve through volunteer opportunities and benefits initiatives. It means ensuring our dedicated caregivers can learn and grow to stay at the top of their fields and to better serve our patients. And above all, it means exceptional care, simply delivered — and we couldn’t do it without you.

NeighborhoodsYoung professionals concentrate in Broad Ripple—a lively, artsy, dog-friendly cultural district with parks and Butler University energy—plus Downtown for jobs, cultural trails, museums, and nightlife; Fountain Square for walkable lofts and entertainment; historic Lockerbie Square with Mass Ave access; and Meridian-Kessler. Reddit locals also point to Old Northside on the Monon bike trail north of Mass Ave and Near Eastside neighborhoods west of Rural Street. Families more often choose Carmel (polished), Fishers (modern family-first), Westfield (activities and sports), Noblesville (blended variety), Greenwood (south-side value), Brownsburg (west-side family base), and Plainfield (practical west side). Core neighborhoods trade yards for walkability; the suburbs mean a car commute but more space.

Getting aroundIndianapolis is car-dependent with limited public transit, so hospital and downtown shifts generally mean driving rather than a named rail line; locals warn that March pothole season is hard on suspensions and that drivers and road quality are a consistent complaint. Downtown can feel quiet after 6 p.m., which matters for nights coming off shift. Family suburbs—Carmel, Fishers, Westfield, Noblesville, Greenwood, Brownsburg, Plainfield—are chosen as much for how the daily commute and school run feel as for the house. These sources do not name specific hospital campuses, parking rules, or bus/rail line numbers.

Living in Indianapolis

Young professionals live in Broad Ripple (artsy, dog-friendly, Butler University), Fountain Square lofts, historic Lockerbie Square off Mass Ave, Meridian-Kessler, and Downtown near museums and cultural trails; families usually pick Carmel or Fishers at a premium, Westfield for sports, or Greenwood, Brownsburg, and Plainfield for value and school runs. Get outside on the Monon Trail, at 250-acre White River State Park and its canal, Eagle Creek, and Fort Harrison State Park. Culture is the Indy 500 and IMS Museum, Colts and Pacers, SPARK on Monument Circle, and a few walkable districts—not a 24-hour city. You will drive: transit is limited, March potholes punish cars, winters are gray and cold, summers humid, and downtown can empty after 6 p.m. Crime, pollution, and a slower tempo are real. It rewards pragmatists who want space, sports, and friendly neighborhoods over coastal density.
