Read full overview

Staffed to Serve Beyond English

Franciscan Health maintains interpretation services woven directly into clinical appointments rather than layered on as an afterthought: meaning the clinician, the patient, and the interpreter operate in the same conversational space, covering test results, medication instructions, and follow-up care without a gap in comprehension.

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed Here

Franciscan Health carries PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP as standing prescriptions: a combination that serves anyone managing ongoing HIV prevention, post-exposure response, or bacterial STI prevention after condomless sex, all without needing a separate specialist or a second clinic relationship.

Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Clinic

Franciscan Health in Crown Point treats hepatitis C on-site, which means a confirmed diagnosis leads directly into a treatment plan at the same facility. No hand-off to a gastroenterologist or infectious disease practice before antiviral therapy can begin.

NorthShore Health Centers in De Motte tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis C, and TB on a sliding-scale fee open to all, with walk-ins welcome; same-visit treatment is available for bacterial infections, and vaccines including HPV and hepatitis A and B are on-site.

Read full overview

PrEP Prescribed and Monitored Here Directly

NorthShore prescribes and monitors PrEP: meaning the baseline HIV test, the follow-up labs, and the ongoing prescription renewals all run through the same clinic. PEP is also available here, with the clinical staff to assess and initiate it without routing you to a separate provider.

Substance-Use Treatment Doesn't Require a Second Stop

Without substance-use services inside the same clinic, a person leaving with an STI diagnosis faces a separate intake process, a separate wait, and a real chance of that second appointment never happening. NorthShore Health Centers carries substance-abuse treatment alongside STI care, so both needs are addressed in a single clinical relationship.

Hepatitis C Testing Sits Beside the Standard Panel

Leaving hepatitis C off a test order means a separate visit, a separate lab, and, if results come back positive, time lost before treatment begins. At NorthShore, hepatitis C testing is built into the panel alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, so nothing requires a second trip to find out where you stand.

STDs & HIV in Porter County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Porter County, the county that includes Hebron, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~32% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.

Pregnant or planning to be? Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Porter County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Hebron, IN

US 231 cuts straight through Hebron on West Casey Street and Pratt Street, threading past quiet residential blocks where most households own their homes outright. A stability that, paired with relatively modest home values, keeps the community grounded but doesn't erase the everyday cost calculations that shape whether people act on their health. Rent here runs well under regional averages, yet for the roughly three in ten households that do rent, a surprise copay or a lost afternoon of wages can still give people pause before scheduling a preventive appointment.

That calculus matters especially for younger adults and people in their late teens and twenties, a substantial share of Hebron's population. Their lives tend to move fast, new relationships, shifting schedules, the kind of week that fills up before a routine screening ever gets booked. Hebron's labor-force picture shows most adults working, and with unemployment low and a notable share of households clearing six figures, the barriers here are more logistical than financial for many residents, which makes the breadth of options listed here worth a closer look before the next stretch of open calendar fills in around Stoney Run.

Confidentiality & consent in Indiana Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on Indiana law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Indiana, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

Indiana permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.

Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
