BUTLER â DeKalb Eastern employees wonât have to go far for medical care.
In the case of staff members at Eastside Junior-Senior High School, itâs within walking distance of the school.
On Jan. 4, the Northeast Indiana School Insurance Trust opened a clinic at 306 Hampel Drive â using part of the former Butler Elementary School building â with Everside Health as the medical provider.
Thursday, school officials and the clinic staff celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The clinic currently is open from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, but the goal is to offer additional days and hours as membership grows, according to Cathy Jarvis, Eversideâs vice president of operations for the northern Indiana region.

Schools in the Fort Dodge Community School District are collecting pennies 685,000 of them, to be exact.
Through April 16, the FDCSD is hosting its annual Miles of Pennies fundraiser at the five elementary schools and the middle school. The effort started Tuesday.
Each school has a different goal and a different use for the funds raised.
Pennies or any loose change, really might not mean a lot to a person’s bank account, but to the school district, they can lead to new educational resources.
Miles of Pennies challenges students and staff at each school to collect loose change in order to meet their fundraising goal. Each school building keeps 100% of the funds raised, and the Fort Dodge Community Schools Foundation has committed to giving a $100 bonus to each building that reaches its goal.
