Carmel Medical Center Open House Offers Fun, Information For Families
INDIANAPOLIS - Sign up for a free nutritional analysis from the IU Center
for Weight Management, then amble across the hall for a stress-reducing
in-chair massage, get a low-fat caffeine pick-me-up from an onsite coffee
kiosk while meeting the “animal ambassadors” from the Indianapolis
Zoo Mobile.
Those are just some of the events planned for Sunday, Aug. 17, when the
IU Medical Group at Carmel hosts a community open house. Tours and special
events are open to the public from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol, anxiety and depression, body
mass index, second-hand smoke, osteoporosis, smoking cessation, glucose
and over-all health risk appraisal will be offered.
Information sessions on Botox for cosmetic use and stroke patients, as
well as injury prevention, asthma and genetics will be available. The
latest in vision screening tools for glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic
retinopathy, the fundus camera, will be available free of charge to open
house guests. The IU Department of Ophthalmology also is sponsoring a
drawing for a free LASIK procedure and the Indiana Lions Eye Bank will
have an information booth for individuals interested in organ donation.
Children will be able to look at X-rays and their own brain waves on
imaging equipment, as well as participate in an interactive activity that
gives them a chance to “be a radiologist.”
Guests also will be able to sign up for a chance to win a large-screen
television, courtesy of H.H. Gregg.
IUMG’s newest multi-specialty facility is located at 200 W. 103rd
Street, immediately west of the Thompson Inc. offices.
Faculty members of the IU School of Medicine see patients Monday through
Friday. Specialists in allergy/asthma, cancer, diabetes, gastroenterology,
neurology, ophthalmology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, pulmonology,
psychiatry, radiology and urology see patients at the Carmel location,
which is more convenient for northside Indianapolis, Carmel and Zionsville
residents. An outpatient surgery center is located on the second floor
of the facility.
Three IU physicians seeing patients at the IUMG-Carmel office were recently
named in America’s Top Doctors, a recognized source for finding the
nation’s top specialists. They are gastroenterologist Paul Kwo and
neurologists Robert Pascuzzi and Karen Roos.
For additional information about the open house, contact Lynne Hulbert
at 278-3500. To make an appointment with one of the IU Medical Group specialists
