  1. No shocker as there is no health system in the state that likely runs their entity as much like a shareholder-owned entity than IU Health….

  2. My PCP moved to IUH several years ago, then moved out of state. My PCP now is with a different system. As I am getting older, a 10 minute limit would never suffice. Glad Dr. S and I have both moved on.

  3. My past experience with IU Health Physician’s (a number of years ago) was horrible. The doctor’s (all except one) acted as if they knew everything and the patient knew nothing. The arrogance! I do all my care with Community Health Network, and without exception, the doctors listen to my input and consider it fully, they are compassionate, and take more time with me than I expected.

    And now IU has the issue of making so much money at the expense of their patients that they are trying to make it look like they are giving back to the community by building facilities that will just make them more money.

    My advise – go to where the doctors put the patient first. And it seems to me, that would be anywhere beside IU Health!

    1. Don’t forget all the grants they have received too. And private donations over the years.

  4. Hospitals look at primary care as a referral pipeline only. They make their money from specialists and surgeries (whether patients need them or not). If you’re a primary care doctor (or any doctor, really) stop working for hospitals. Build a membership-based practice and take as much time with patients as they need, while making care affordable.

    1. I remember my doctor who took care of me and my children and he sat on the Broad of IU he was gDoctor Joesph M Black he is gone now but he is rolling in his grave how IU Health has become. Doctor Joe made house call when I was a child. And he didn’t rush to put you on a pill that causes more harm than good.
      Miss those commences doctors and we need more of them.

      IU now fires great employees if they speak up and try to take care of their patients and staff employees who are over worked. What happen to patients care??
