Sycamore Nursing Center
The Sycamore Nursing Center (SNC) was founded in 1981 to offer not only service to the community but also clinical learning experiences for the Indiana State University School of Nursing Baccalaureate Nursing Program. It is an academic nursing center that is a charter member of the National League for Nursing Council of Nursing Centers that offers not only comprehensive health assessments including histories and physical examinations to all ages but also free, age appropriate immunizations for children 1 month to 18 years of age.
The SNC has had a home health care program since 1985 when Diagnostic Related Groups decreased clients' hospital stays. The local home health care agencies were also forced to discharge clients early from home health care and yet the clients needed continued care. The SNC continues to meet those needs. The home health care program is free.
The Sycamore Nursing Center serves individuals and families of all ages in the Wabash Valley and is located in the Landsbaum Center for Health Education at 1433 N 6th 1/2 Street, Terre Haute, IN 47807-1037.
