There’s lots of good healthcare in and around Indy. Our local hospital, Hendricks Regional, is now part of the Mayo Clinic group. It’s a 5 min drive from our house, and the bigger hospitals in Indy are between 30-50 minutes away.
I hear you on the healthcare thing. We aren’t getting any younger. Staying fit and eating right with daily exercise has helped us ward off most things, but we don’t take our health for granted. One day it will catch up to us.
The healthcare accessibility is one reason we will likely stay put here, and not move back to the south. It would be like starting all over again, and we know firsthand how hard it is to establish yourself in a new area without kids in schools. If it weren’t for church and our neighborhood, we probably wouldn’t know that many people, though we don’t volunteer in the community quite as actively as we used to.
I could only stay in a Jewish community -- schools, synagogues, shopping, volunteer work. Most of them are located in the major American cities. Looks like I'm staying put for the long haul.
