Our History: Heart and Soul Clinic was founded in 2009 by Sandy Kirsch. She was motivated to start the clinic because of the need for quality medical care for uninsured individuals. Her faith helped her through all the hard work needed to start the clinic. A great community surrounded Sandy and the City of Westfield provided a house for the clinic at 202 Penn Street, next to City Hall. As the clinic continued to grow, dental care service was added in 2015. The clinic purchased an RV in 2017 to provide mobile medical services at other locations in Hamilton County. A year later the clinic outgrew the Penn Street location and moved to its current location: 17338 Westfield Road. This space has allowed the clinic to continue to grow and add services such as women’s health services and mental health services in 2020.
