Indiana University Health and the Brown County Community YMCA have received zoning approval to move forward with the construction of a new medical office building off State Road 46E and Maple Leaf Boulevard in Nashville.
The new facility will be home to IU Health primary care and walk-in services. It will also allow for possible expansions in the future, such as the addition of orthopedics. The location will also reinforce the strong relationship between IU Health and the YMCA in Brown County.
IU Health will manage the construction from start to finish, working closely with the YMCA and Nashville community officials to ensure the community’s needs stay top-of-mind throughout the process. After construction is complete, IU Health will rent the space from the YMCA and continue seeing patients in the new building. This will allow the YMCA to begin planning for future additional services as they continue the wonderful work they do in the community. Additional information, including plans for the current building, will be shared as it becomes available.
This combined effort to bring better health services to Brown County is being made possible by significant gifts to the IU Health Foundation and the Brown County Community YMCA by the family of Sue Borgelt, for which the Health pavilion will be named.
Sue Borgelt proposed the creation of the present Brown County Community YMCA with her husband, Burt, in collaboration with Brown County Community Foundation.

“I think its wonderful,” Brown County Commissioner Jerry Pittman said last week. “We’re kind of isolated, in a way, between Columbus and Bloomington, as far as having a hospital, and I think this will further fill that gap. We’ve had the doctors offices at the Y and we do have Brown County Health and Wellness, but we don’t really have an Urgent Care type of facility and I understand this will be part of that. I think this will be a great addition to our community and I think it’s a great location as well.
In addition, Pittman said that being able to have a family doctor association within the community will be another beneficial aspect.
