There are two new homeowners just off 47th Street in Lawrence, thanks to the efforts of the Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity.

For the first time in Indianapolis, one of the homes was built solely with female crews. Women from all walks of life worked together to fund and build the Habitat home for a Lawrence family in need.

Female volunteers raised the funds and then, in just 21 days, raised the walls for the entire Women Build project.

“There’s something really special about having all these women come together,” said Andrea Brummett, president of The Pabulum Group and Team Leader for one of the build days. “What we can accomplish together as a group of women is amazing. It’s been efficient, pleasant and fun. We had a blast!”

Her team consisted of women from Anthem, Roche, Halo Salon, Allegiant, Freedom Mortgage and her own human resources management company. Each team of women was responsible for fundraising and events leading up to the actual build, as well as wielding the hammers and paintbrushes.

In fact, the funds were completely raised for the build far in advance of the deadline, thanks to the effort of more than 300 volunteers.

Habitat for Humanity is especially proud of the Women Build. It put the tools into women’s hands to fight poverty housing. Women make up 50 percent of Habitat for Humanity International’s volunteer force; yet often because of lack of training, they account for less than 15 percent of workers on the construction site. The Women Build program was established by Habitat to encourage the involvement of women in the construction of these homes.

Women crews have already built more than 1,500 Habitat for Humanity houses within the United States, and in dozens of other countries. The projects provide an environment in which women can feel comfortable learning skills they might not otherwise have the opportunity to learn.

It was especially meaningful to the home’s new owner, Breyona Brown that her home was built by women. Brown is a medical assistant at IU Health, and was thrilled to be chosen to help build her own home for her and her son Robert.

A CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION, HABITAT OPERATES UNDER A SIMPLE MISSION: “Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.”

There is a second Habitat home just next door to Breyona’s, built by volunteers from 20 different United Methodist Churches in the Indy area. Deanna Johnson is the new owner and will live in the house with her daughter and granddaughter. Her plan is to leave the house to her daughter, Breanna, someday.

Both new owners participated in the building of their homes, volunteering 300 “sweat equity” hours as per the Habitat for Humanity agreement, including various “home ownership courses.”

The owners will officially receive their house keys and the homes will be dedicated in mid-October, dependent somewhat on the weather. At that point they assume a small monthly mortgage payment and move forward with their lives as new Lawrence homeowners.

Learn more about these and other Habitat homes at indyhabitat.org.

He knew. When Darrin Kirkland, Sr. watched his son play varsity football as a sophomore, he knew the 15-year-old would likely have an opportunity to play at the next level. “When he came in the game, he made an instant impact,” remembers Darrin, Sr. It was a hunch that’s paying off—big time.

While a student-athlete at Park Tudor School, Darrin’s physique began to fill out and his athleticism jumped off the chart. Desiring a more competitive opportunity, Darrin enrolled in Lawrence Central High School. Now, at age 17, he’s a strapping 6 ft., 2 in., 230-pound, gifted athlete. “He’s one of the best linebackers I’ve seen in high school since I’ve been around,” offers Jed Richman, LC’s head football coach. Kirkland also is no slacker in the classroom, which made him a prime target for top-flight Division 1 college football programs.

During his junior year, 31 schools recruited Darrin including Ohio State, Louisville, Ole Miss, Texas, Virginia Tech, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and Notre Dame. “Darrin has always been a strong student, so it was important for us first to investigate what these schools were most noted for. That was at the top of our list,” says his mom, Stephanie. In the end, the University of Michigan was the choice. In December, Darrin graduates and will enroll in college—ready to take on the biggest athletic and academic challenge of his young life: studying finance and business law, and

playing Big 10 football for the Wolverines. “It was important to me to find the best place for me—academically as well as athletically,” says Darrin Jr. “Someplace where I would grow as a man and a great football player. They offered me a plan.” “I’m just very proud of him,” says his smiling father. “He’s done everything in and out of classroom, on the football field, around the house. He’s just a humble kid.”

Darrin is arguably the best player in Indianapolis, and may well be a candidate for Indiana Mr. Football. His team plays in the hyper-competitive Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference (MIC). When you face Ben Davis, Carmel, Center Grove, Warren Central, North Central, Lawrence North and Pike every week, it’s a meat-grinder of a schedule. “There’s no comparison in this state to it,” explains Greg Rakestraw, sports talk radio host and play-by-play voice of HomeTown Sports and News, which will carry nine MIC games this fall on WRTV’s cable channel. “MaxPreps ranks the MIC as the ninth-toughest high school conference in the country.”

High school football is enormously competitive and popular, particularly in Marion County and Lawrence Township. While Lawrence North has struggled in recent years Rakestraw predicts a different LC-LN game this season (September 5). “My expectation is that LC should win, but this year it should be a lot more competitive.” Richman agrees about the township’s pigskin prowess (especially when Cathedral is

COMMON

added to the mix.) “I think it’s an exciting time to play football in Indiana, Indianapolis and especially Lawrence Township.”

Kirkland, who wears jersey number 34 and plays middle linebacker, is a big reason for LC’s recent success. “He’s big, he’s strong, he’s fast,” Richman says. Darrin’s 40-yard dash time is 4.58—very quick for a young man his size. He’s consistently ranked in the top ten nationally at his position. “He’s the kind of kid you never have to take off the field. He’s a football player. Period.” For that and other, more important reasons, Richman says he’s not surprised Michigan came calling. “He’s an easy kid to coach.

He’s a hard worker and makes everyone around him better. He’s always trying to bring his teammates up and lead the program in intangible ways.” As an example, Darrin helped coordinate a visit to Gleaner’s Food Bank last winter where LC football players packed food for holiday distribution.

Richman says it was impressive how Darrin

handled the attention from big-time colleges, and the continuing spotlight that comes with being a Michigan recruit. For that, he credits Darrin’s parents. “Nothing goes to his head. Obviously they’ve installed great values in him,” says Richman. “When the recruitment got really heavy, he still had a lot of high school to stay focused on,” says Darrin’s mom. “I still wanted him to be a kid.” And apparently Darrin’s teammates understand the media spotlight. “Nobody’s perfect, but he’s done a nice job handling all the pressures that come with being a high recruit,” says his coach.

Kirkland has racked up impressive awards over the course of his athletic career including MVP honors at several national football camps. This January, he’ll participate in the U.S. Army All-American Game in San Antonio with 90 of the nation’s best high school football players. “I’m ready for the next chapter,” offers Darrin. “A little nervous—just for starting college, not for the football part. I’ll get comfortable with it after the first few weeks.”

Unsurprisingly, Kirkland dreams about the NFL (observers say he has the skill set.) “If it happens, it happens,” Darrin understands. “I just want to be the best football player I can be, and if that end’s up in the NFL, that would be great.” But first, there’s plenty of work to do. After all, he hasn’t even stepped foot onto the college gridiron. Stephanie, however, notes that her son has always had big dreams. And, why not?

CATCH HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL ACTION THIS FALL IN PERSON OR ON TVLawrence Central head coach Jed Richman says football is an important activity for high school kids—on and off the field. “There’s something special about the school spirit you develop and the camaraderie—just the atmosphere that’s created.” Fans of Lawrence Central, Lawrence North and Cathedral have some great gridiron action to look forward to, including these significant contests:

Lawrence Central vs.Warren Central – Sept. 12Ben Davis – Oct. 10Carmel – Oct. 17

Lawrence North vs.Lawrence Central – Sept. 5Ben Davis – Sept. 26Warren Central – Oct. 3

Cathedral vs.Chatard – Sept. 12Hamilton Southeastern – Oct. 10Center Grove – Oct. 17

An exclusive partnership between HomeTown Sports & News (HTSN), WRTV6 and the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference (MIC) will bring viewers the MIC Game of the Week each Friday night. The nine-game schedule will air live at 7:00 P.M. on HTSN and live-streamed online. Repeat showings will occur throughout the weekend on HTSN. Here’s the MIC Game of the Week schedule:

Sept. 5 – Carmel at Center GroveSept. 12 – Center Grove at Ben DavisSept. 19 – Ben Davis at Warren CentralSept. 26 – Warren Central at PikeOct. 3 – Ben Davis at CarmelOct. 10 – Carmel at Warren CentralOct. 17 – Lawrence Central at Carmel

HTSN play-by-play announcer Greg Rakestraw is ready for some football! “When I go to a lot of these high school football games in the metro area—if people want to have a bit of a small town feel, football has it. This is different than other major metro areas where it’s not one game that’s going to pull in 10,000 people, but amazingly, there are fifteen to twenty games around here that draw 4,000 people. So many of these high schools are so well supported.” And, Rakestraw adds that LC puts on one whale of a barbecue on game nights!

When you “THINK SNOW!” you should conjure up images of the Indianapolis Ski Club.

While Indianapolis may not be synonymous with snow skiing, there is a group of nearly 300 snow enthusiasts who are members of the Indianapolis ski club.

� e club has been in existence for almost 60 years and still promotes friendships and great ski trips!

Club President Lisa Sindelar said that is exactly what the club is all about—making friends and skiing great mountains. “� e bonus is the hassle free travel that comes with being a club member,” Sindelar said.

Sindelar said trips are planned with almost everything included, from li� tickets to transportation to lodging.

“It’s just a great way to enjoy a ski trip,” Sinedelar said.

Lisa joined the club in 2002 a� er talking to a club member in the winter sports section of Galyans.

“I didn’t know there was a ski club in Indy,” Sinedelar said. “I went home, looked up the website, a� ended a social event and joined!”

Lisa has since married a club member and has enjoyed several trips with the club.

Fellow skier and Lawrence resident Joan Na� ziger has been a member of the club since 1992 and has been a volunteer “go-to” person on several trips.

“It’s so much fun traveling with a group of fellow skiers and friends.” Na� ziger said, “It makes it much more bearable when you get stuck in a blizzard in Minneapolis, too!”

� is year the Indianapolis Ski Club has six trips planned for the upcoming season in the western United States and Europe.

In January, they kick o� their line up of trips at Ban� in Alberta, Canada.

Trips to SteamBoat, Winter Park and Beaver Creek in Colorado are scheduled in February. Also a European trip is planned to Cortina, Italy, and Madonna di Campiglio, a popular ski resort in Northeast Italy, scheduled for March 2015.

� e group’s � nal trip of the season o� ered is Big Sky Montana—a favorite by many—in March.

� e US trips start at a li� le more than $1,300 per member – more for European trips. Trips are for members only, but it’s easy to join and the club always welcomes new members!

Ten years ago, Sue Zilisch peered out of her Broad Ripple

home and thought, “This neighborhood is ripe for a home tour, one that celebrates the history of the community through the stories of its houses.”

So—Sue and a small army of friends “accosted” home owners and scheduled the first “Bungalows of Broad Ripple” tour. As researchers conducted interviews and delved into abstracts of titles, city directories and genealogical sites to bring out the stories that were hidden within the walls of the tour homes, the name soon morphed into the Broad Ripple Historic Home Tour.

This year’s celebratory event (Saturday, September 27 from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.) features a home that appeared on the first tour—its claim to fame being that it was a Sears “kit home.” For many years, the Sears Roebuck Company offered floor plans and building materials to prospective home owners. Building components—from lumber to nails—were numbered and shipped to the customer, who either hired a contractor or took on the task himself.

Another feature of this year’s tour is the recently opened Broad Ripple Hotel. A late 1880s brick house and an early 20th century bungalow have been tied together to form a charming boutique hotel.

Steve Cooke of Noblesville is one of countless Ford Hoosier Outdoor Experience success stories.

The sixth annual event, sponsored by Central Indiana Ford Dealers, is Sept. 20 and 21 at Fort Harrison State Park in Indianapolis, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days. Admission is free, as are parking and all activities.

Cooke attended the first event in 2009 with the goal of learning about fly-fishing. He took a brief lesson and was hooked. He followed up with professional lessons from Patti Beasley of Reel Women-Reel Men fly club in Indianapolis. He now fishes the White River in Central Indiana for panfish and Brookville Lake’s tailwaters on the Whitewater River in southeastern Indiana for trout.

“Fly-fishing is my outlet,” Cooke said. “I like the serenity of being in nature.”

Organized by the Department of Natural Resources and Indiana Natural Resources Foundation, this is Indiana’s largest hands-on outdoor recreation event. Last year a record 32,000 people participated. The idea is to get more Hoosiers interested in outdoor recreation.

The concept came about because nationwide participation rates in many traditional outdoor sports have been declining. In Indiana, the number of licensed hunters and anglers has remained relatively stable over the past few decades. This sounds comforting, said Bourke Patton, director of the Indiana Natural Resources Foundation, until you consider that the number hasn’t kept pace with the state’s overall population growth.

Conservationists worry that if the trend isn’t reversed, fewer Americans will care about protecting natural resources. “The whole point is to get people to embrace the outdoors,” Patton said. “It’s about taking people who have little outdoor knowledge, or even no outdoor knowledge, and showing them what’s available and how to do it.”

Although fly-fishing is not part of this year’s event, about 50 other outdoor activities will be offered by some 120 grassroots organizations. All activities take place in the 1,700-acre state park. Activities available will range from archery to mountain biking and more.

Trolleys from the State Fair roll through the grounds, and activities are clustered to make each stop action-packed.

Information on trolley routes, a listing of all events and directions to parking areas can be found at HoosierOutdoorExperience.IN.gov. While it’s not required, visitors are encouraged to register at the website before they attend. This helps in planning the event.

The programming is essentially the same both days. Participants are welcome to come either or both days.

Horseback riding is one of the most popular activities at the Experience, but space is limited. To register for ride times, visit the saddle barn during the event on the day you wish to ride. There will be both a morning and an afternoon sign-up period. The reservation window will open at 10 a.m. to fill the available morning slots and then again at 1:15 p.m. to fill the afternoon slots.

Visitors should expect lines.

Cooke plans to attend the 2014 Ford Hoosier Outdoor Experience with his daughters, ages 9 and 5, to see what other outdoor sports are out there. “It’s always on my calendar,” he said.

You are invited to the 3rd Annual Project Pink Fashion Show, which is runway-ready. � is fundraiser for Susan G. Komen® Central Indiana is � ursday, Sept. 18.

� is year, the show is moving to a new venue—City Market in downtown Indy. Doors open at 6 p.m. with appetizers, desserts and cash bar at Tomlinson Tap Room with access to shopping.

A limited number of VIP tickets are available for purchase. VIP tickets allow guests to a� end an exclusive meet-and-greet cocktail hour and more. Go to komenindy.org/project-pink to purchase tickets and see details.

� e fashion show begins at 7:30 p.m., and features newly created apparel made from repurposed Race for the Cure® T-shirts. Each unique piece has been designed by students from � e Art Institute of Indianapolis.

� e T-shirts aren’t the only regenerated materials. � is year, commi� ee members have constructed distinctive decorations from posters, adding a more creative � air to this upscale experience.

� e models are local survivors, co-survivors and celebrities such as Pippa Mann, who ran a pink car in the Indianapolis 500 this year to partner with Komen to help raise money and awareness.

“Since we do not have a budget for Project Pink, we rely on in-kind donations to make this event happen,” said Sarah Schmitz, Operations Manager of Susan G. Komen

Central Indiana. “� is allows us to put all our funds raised toward our mission to end breast cancer. Of donations received, 75 percent of net proceeds stay in Central Indiana to fund lifesaving breast screenings, treatment assistance and survivor support to underinsured and uninsured Hoosiers; while 25 percent of net proceeds are invested in international research seeking causes, improved treatments and cures for breast cancer.”

� ere will be a new panel of judges this year that will select the winning design including long snapper Ma� Overton from the Indianapolis Colts and Helen Wells of the Helen Wells Agency. Also models will have a chance to win a popular vote by soliciting $1 donations from friends and family members in the audience.

“We changed our venue this year in hopes to grow this event,” Schmitz said. “We wanted to expand the appeal to a broader audience. We’re excited to have City Market, an exceptional se� ing with a modern, chic, urban feel that captures a new look for Project Pink.”

Live entertainment will be provided by DJ Gabby Love with Crush Entertainment. � e emcee will be Tom Bri� , founder and publisher of Geist and Fishers Community Newsle� ers.

Project Pink has raised more than $20,000 for Komen Central Indiana in the past two years and has touched the lives of many local breast cancer survivors. In July, Komen held an open call for survivors interested in modeling for Project Pink. � ey submi� ed stories and reasons why they wanted to walk on the runway.

PROJECT PINK 2014 FASHION WITH A PURPOSE

One survivor, Jennifer Spees, expressed her interests and passion for the event.

“I will celebrate � ve months cancer free on Aug. 19,” Spees said. “I was 44 when diagnosed, in the best shape of my life, as I was training for my � rst marathon. I had no history of breast cancer, and my genetic testing was negative. I have two daughters who now know a great deal about breast cancer and are advocates for a cure. � ey were two of my biggest cheerleaders throughout chemo, surgery and radiation. Having cancer, I knew I had to show them that you can do anything and be strong doing it! I would love to teach the girls another life lesson, that no ma� er how tall or how

much hair you have, you can be a model and be proud of yourself. I would like to be considered for the Project Pink Fashion show to send a message to my girls and the world you can do anything. Never give up.”

“It is stories like this one that encourage and inspire us to make Project Pink bigger and be� er every year,” Schmitz said.

Janet C. Striebel is a Fishers resident and freelance writer. She and her husband, Doug, have three children: Ryan, Jessica and Justin. She has been writing for atGeist.com for more than seven years and claims that the best part is meeting all the interesting people in her community.

Work has begun on what government and economic development officials say is a critical part of the long-held vision to create a true city center for Lawrence. Fort Harrison Office Suites is a mixed-use retail and office project under construction at 56th Street and Lawrence Village Parkway. A public-private partnership between the Ft. Harrison Re-use Authority and Fishers-based developers Yeager Properties and RealtyQwest-Baldwin is responsible for the 35,000 sq. ft., $5.5 million project.

Jockamo Upper Crust Pizza restaurant has signed as a ground-floor tenant. The popular eatery (with locations in Irvington and Old Town Greenwood) will be welcomed by Lawrence diners, hungry for another sit-down dining option. “Oh, I think it’s going to be a game-changer to kind of kick-start Lawrence into a different direction,” says Re-use Authority Director Freddie Burris.

Additional first-floor space and the entire upper story will consist of offices designed specifically to incubate Lawrence businesses. “The concept of the office suites is really a benefit for beginning offices to grow, and it allows people with smaller businesses to start and grow, as well,” says Scott Yeager, president, Yeager Construction. “It allows businesses to come in and share amenities such as conference rooms, a lobby and so on.”

According to the RealtyQwest-Baldwin website, approximately 90 suites will be available, with rent that includes taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, janitorial, utilities, high speed internet access, WIFI, and shared fax/printer resources. Phase One—the offices portion—is scheduled to launch early next year. Jockamo’s will follow a couple of months later with its opening. Space is available for an additional ground-floor tenant—perhaps another restaurant.

The city is kicking in $1.7 million in economic development money—an investment it believes will pay future dividends. “I think the use of anything that creates jobs, that ultimately makes people want to be here and grow here, is a worthy investment,” explains Tim Joyce, Lawrence economic development director. He notes that the tax base that’s created will ultimately be city dollars.

In the meantime, plans are said to be moving forward on development of about 70 cottage-style homes near Triton Brewery. “That’s going to be the next big thing,” says Burris. “It’ll be for empty nesters or first-time homeowners. Three bedrooms, some with basements.” Burris adds that inquiries from other interested developers are on the upswing. “I’ve always said the next dig would be the catalyst for the fort,” says Lawrence Chamber of Commerce President Jessica Tower. “I think the dominos are going to start falling in line.”

Presuming that Harrison Office Suites is a hit, plans call for an adjacent, matching building forming a gateway into the village center. “The people of Lawrence have waited a long time for a spectacular place in the community—for it to be recognized as a place for them to come spend time with each other,” offers Joyce. “This is one of those things that’s a community builder.”

“My brothers and I grew up in Lafaye� e and community was important. Here in Lawrence it is amazing for me to feel that sense of community again. We love our church, walking the trails of Ft. Ben and eating out,” Keller commented, adding how schools and businesses add to that community pride.

“Being a realtor in Lawrence allows me the opportunity to step into people’s lives and help make buying their home a memorable experience,” Keller said. “I want to be your key to Lawrence real estate.”

GOOD PEOPLE, GOOD CAUSES: THE BRIDGE FUND

Writer / Kathi Moore

Sometimes a charity exists in a covert manner, quietly funding the needs of others, allowing them to thrive be� er in the community.

Such is the case with � e Bridge Fund, a Lawrence-area nonpro� t organization that is loosely a� ached to the Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township Foundation and “connecting deserving students with opportunity.”

� ree years ago, Chad McCune’s father, Dr. Bob McCune, DVM passed away, leaving behind a legacy of volunteer work with the Lawrence Exchange Group, a service group. He challenged Chad and longtime friend Mark Pressley to continue his work with youth locally rather than globally.

� e men started hearing stories. Stories about good kids who made decent grades despite o� en having to overcome some enormous odds against them.

One pair of siblings walked more than a mile to high school each day from their motel-home, worked two jobs each, yet still managed to maintain a B average in their classes.

A counselor told them about another teen who came into her o� ce one morning and as they talked, he consumed half of the Twizzlers in her jar. When asked if he had eaten, he told her the free lunch at school was the only meal he got every day. Still another student was living last winter in an unheated barn.

“Many of these kids quit school by their junior or senior year to go to work,” Pressley explained. “We want to be their advocate, to help them stay on task through graduation.”

� at’s what � e Bridge Fund does. It opens small accounts at Lawrence Central, Lawrence North and McKenzie Center to work with the counselors and teachers in each school. An athlete who can’t a� ord cleats might be granted the money to buy some, caps and gowns are frequently funded, SAT/ACT fees, calculators, specialty tools like stethoscopes and even prom tickets.

But it’s very covert. Pressley is adamant about not embarrassing the kids. � e Bridge Fund wants to give a boost to otherwise good and deserving teens, and allow them to participate in school activities.

“If every person helped just one other person…” Pressley suggested. “We concentrate on those kids who will have a be� er chance at success if they’re more involved at school, as not all can a� ord to pay the fees for extra-curriculars.”

Otherwise, there are no speci� c guidelines. Recipients are usually identi� ed by counselors or teachers as, “kids you’d personally reach into your pocket to help.”

“I can’t say no,” admi� ed Pressley.

If you’d like to help, donate at BridgeFundIndiana.org. Or join them on Sept. 18 at the 2nd Annual Golf Outing at Pebble Brook with help from Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri. � e golf outing honors Dr. Bob McCune and all dollars go into � e Bridge Fund.

Kathi Moore, a career marketer and public relations director, has a natural curiosity that leads her in many different directions and helps to provide ideas for her writing. She and her husband have 3 children, 3 dogs and 3 cats.

It has been six years since Dr. E. Alfredo Argote, a physician and orthopedic surgeon from Colombia, opened his � rst o� ce on Shadeland Avenue. In February the practice moved to its current location, 8202 Clearvista Pkwy., across from the Community North campus, to accommodate an expansion in services.ProMed has experienced positive growth with thousands of patients being served every year. As an independent practice, a dying breed in the age of mega hospital conglomerates, ProMed Family & Procedural Medicine relies primarily on word of mouth advertising that spreads like wild� re from one happy patient to another. � e reason for natural growth is their innovative approach to patient care.

Dr. Argote completed his Family Medicine Residency at Community Hospitals of Indianapolis. He has also completed his Orthopedic Surgery Residency and fellowship in the Hospital for Joint Diseases in New York. Dr. Argote is a family physician and a surgeon with extensive expertise in sports medicine, arthroscopy and joint reconstructive surgery.

Multidisciplinary medical training allowed Dr. Argote to have a more comprehensive approach to practicing medicine compared to a typical family physician. Dr. Argote strives to implement cu� ing-edge technology in his practice, oriented for patient convenience, quicker diagnosis and therapeutic actions with the concept of a “one stop shop.”

On-site services for his patients, such as X-rays, ultrasound, laboratory testing, medication, pain injections, IV infusions, and a very impressive list of small surgical procedures, signi� cantly reduce patient cost. When you come to ProMed, you will not spend

30 minutes waiting to be seen and the doctor will spend the time each case requires to understand individual health situations and to perform treatment.

Other services o� ered include: women’s health and hormonal balance, cardiovascular risk prevention, cholesterol, diabetes and hypertension control, obesity treatment, arthritis treatment, sports injuries, neck and low back pain, fractures and casting, lacerations, sutures, diagnosis and treatment of skin lesions, scar corrective cosmetic procedures, Gynecomastia, vein sclerotherapy, and more.

Not surprisingly, ProMed can reduce your medical bill 40 to 70 percent when compared with hospitals, in addition to saving a lot of your precious time. Also, if you have a high deductible insurance or if you are uninsured, signi� cant cash payment discount is anticipated.

A bilingual English- and Spanish-speaking sta� is convenient, and it is not unusual for Spanish-speaking patients to drive 100 miles just to be able to see a well-respected doctor who speaks their language.

Dr. Argote’s approach to medicine is a passion and is patient centered, diagnosing and treating the root cause of diseases in an a� ordable and timely manner. Naturally, Dr. Argote’s patients have become his raving fans and ardent supporters.

Visit ProMed at the East location: 8202 Clearvista Parkview Suite 5B, Indianapolis, 46256; or the West o� ce: 21 Beachway Suite A, Indianapolis, 46224, or visit at promedindy.com. Call 317-429-0088. Walk-ins can be accommodated.
