Specialist endometriosis care in Indiana
Indiana University School of Medicine, the state's public medical school in Indianapolis, is Indiana's site on the AAGL Complex Benign Gynecology Fellowship listing, so fellowship training in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery is anchored in the capital. No separately named endometriosis program could be confirmed on IU Health's own pages, so none is listed here.
Indiana's other cities are a long drive from Indianapolis and often closer to a neighboring state's center. Fort Wayne is about 110 air miles from Indianapolis; Evansville is about 150 from Indianapolis but 100 from Louisville; South Bend is about 70 from Chicago. The March of Dimes 2026 report classifies 27.2 percent of Indiana counties as maternity care deserts, home to about 71,000 women ages 15 to 44. In the state, 30.4 percent of counties have no obstetric clinician, 41.3 percent have no birthing facility, 57.9 percent of rural counties lack one, and 71,000 women live more than 30 minutes from a hospital with labor and delivery services.
Indiana adopted Medicaid expansion, per KFF's October 2026 status table. The Indiana Department of Health keeps a maternal and child health page listing state programs.
