INDIANAPOLIS – OrthoIndy, one of the most highly respected orthopedic practices in the Midwest with more than 80 physicians, has joined the Indiana State Medical Association. The nationally ranked, physician-owned hospital provides leading-edge bone, joint, spine and muscle care from more than 10 locations in Central Indiana.

By joining ISMA, OrthoIndy physicians will continue to provide the best orthopedic care to all patients.”

With more than 8,500 members, ISMA is dedicated to maximizing the leadership and impact of physicians. The participation of OrthoIndy physicians, who practice in a wide variety of orthopedic specialties, will strengthen ISMA’s ability to advance its mission through legislative advocacy.
