PackingPadre

I recently moved from Rumford, Maine, to Indianapolis, IN, with acess to specialty health care being a reason. Mind you, I had a fine primary care doctor in Rumford in Thomas J. DeLuca D.O. and this is by no means a reflection on him.

I also made the move because after three auto accidents in five years, the state revoked my license on medical grounds, so I needed to be in a city with good mass transit for the disabled.

One of the nicest health care finds here in Indy is a group practice of physicians and podiatrists called "My MD Housecalls." The doctors visit patients, most of whom are elderly and/or disabled in their homes. This way, they can see a patient's living environment and determine what, if any, other services they need. In the long run, I believe it is a cost-saver. It is covered by Medicare.

I recently moved to Indianapolis, Indiana, and have found the same thing Miss Cox did. For example, some items at the Super Walmart here are more expensive than Wally's in Mexico, Maine, others are cheaper, and I bet they vary depending on the section of the city.

Instead of Hannaford and Shaws, our two biggest supermarkets are Kroger and Marsh's. And we also have a grocery delivery service called PeaPod, which I use quite a bit.

As far as the River Valley, I found I could rarely do all my shopping at one store. It took stops at WalMart and Hannaford to finish my list.
