Bowen Center to open 4 NE Indiana health clinics
Over the next six weeks, Bowen Center will formally open four new health clinics serving four Northeast Indiana counties.
The addition of Bowen Health Clinics in DeKalb, LaGrange, Noble, and Steuben counties offers patients easy access to primary health care under one roof with mental health care, behavioral health care, addiction recovery treatment, and life skills coaching services. This integrative or multidisciplinary one-stop-shop approach to providing healthcare can make an immediate positive difference in the lives of Northeast Indiana residents.
Understanding that the integrative healthcare model would improve and extend lives, Bowen Center began adding primary care services at its existing locations in 2020. By April 11, all Bowen Center locations will offer primary health care in addition to their mental health services.
“We know people with a mental illness have a lifespan 20 years shorter than someone without a mental illness, so we had to do everything in our power to solve that as soon as we could,” said Dr. Rob Ryan, Bowen Center president and CEO. “And as some health services are starting to leave communities, we are so pleased to be able to step up and fill the gap, especially for underserved populations.”
The new Bowen Health Clinic sites and their ribbon-cutting ceremony dates are as follows:
Angola
March 7, 11:30 am, 200 Hoosier Drive
Albion
March 14, 11:30 am, 101 E Park Drive
LaGrange
March 21, 11:00 am, 836 N Detroit Street

April 11, 10:00 am, 923 Cardinal Court
The public is welcome to attend all of these events. Tours will follow each ribbon cutting, along with light refreshments and giveaways.
Bowen Health Clinic welcomes Medicaid, and no one is turned away for an inability to pay. To make an appointment, call (888) 470-0082.
