Jane Pauley Community Health Center in Greenfield tests for HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding-scale fee that applies to everyone. Walk-ins are welcome, bacterial STIs are treated the same visit, and HPV and hepatitis A and B vaccines are available on-site.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Jane Pauley's panel reaches hepatitis A, B, and C plus herpes. Each ordered and resulted through the clinic's own laboratory workflow, not sent to a separate facility for triage. That breadth means a single visit produces a complete picture rather than a partial one.
Jane Pauley Community Health Center carries PrEP and PEP as standing services: meaning the prescribing, lab monitoring, and follow-up all happen here, which matters for anyone without a regular provider or paying on the sliding scale who needs ongoing medication management without bouncing between practices.
Jane Pauley Community Health Center provides interpretation services for non-English languages as part of the clinical encounter itself: meaning the interpreter is integrated into the appointment rather than added as an afterthought, so counseling, treatment decisions, and follow-up instructions are communicated in real time, not summarized after the fact.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Hancock County, the county that includes Spring Lake, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~20% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#25 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 73% of the state
| Infection | Hancock County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 355.1 306 cases ▼ 28% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 65 56 cases ▼ 55% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 3.5 3 cases ▼ 60% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 1.2 1 cases ▼ 87% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 5.8 5 cases ▼ 62% | 15.2 | 29.5 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Hancock County, chlamydia has risen from 243 to 355.1 per 100,000 (46%), gonorrhea has fallen from 72.6 to 65 per 100,000 (10%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 3.8 to 3.5 per 100,000 (8%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Hancock County.
Local HIV snapshot
Hancock County HIV care continuum (2023)
Among Hancock County residents living with HIV, 85.9% are in care · 81.7% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
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 Hancock County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
US 40 cuts through Spring Lake as West Main Street, and the houses lining it tell the story quickly: nearly everyone here owns, home values are modest, and the community skews toward established households. Most adults married, families averaging close to three people under one roof. That stability shapes daily life in real ways, but it also means the smaller share of younger adults (people in their late teens and twenties still dating, changing partners, or just settling into routines) can be easy to overlook when thinking about sexual health needs in a town that otherwise reads as settled.
For someone without a car or working around a stretched paycheck, a screening appointment can feel like a logistical puzzle rather than a straightforward errand. The options listed on this page span a wide radius around Spring Lake, so knowing in advance which ones offer sliding-scale fees or evening hours, rather than assuming the nearest one fits, saves a wasted trip. With options listed here and Meadow Haven Park a short walk from residential streets, the geography of Spring Lake rewards a little planning: check the clinic cards, match hours to your actual schedule, and go.
Getting there
At 6.92/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Spring Lake generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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