Regional Living: A Great Place To Live and To Practice Medicine

Located on the southern tip of Lake Michigan, the Northwest Indiana region is as diverse in lifestyle opportunities as it is in ethnicity. The Indiana Dunes are a natural wonder and provide a beautiful backdrop to our miles of sandy beaches. Entertainment and shopping venues abound, and great home values and good schools blanket our region. The region’s proximity to the greater Chicago metropolitan area also contributes to Northwest Indiana’s livability rating. Indiana’s status as a tort reform state provides a physician-friendly environment for the practice of medicine.
