A Hamilton County employer is tackling soaring health-care costs by providing on-the-job care.
Biddle Precision Components hired Novia CareClinics — an Indianapolis-based company that sets up wellness-based primary-care clinics in the workplace.
Located north of Noblesville in Hamilton County, Biddle is Sheridan’s largest employer with 180 workers. The company makes components and hydraulic valve spools.
Leslie Condre, a vice president at Novia, said her company contracts with doctors and nurses who treat employees at the company-based free clinic. Novia provides the medical supplies and equipment for the clinic.

Evansville based Vectren Corporation launched a pilot program this week for an on-site medical clinic at the 350 employee Support Services Center.
The health facility will serve employees and their dependents by providing physician care and prescription drug services.
According to a recent press release, Vectren officials said the pilot program was an effort to reduce long-term health care costs.
Vectren Chairman and CEO Niel C. Ellerbrook says, “This is a tremendous benefit for our employees and one of the first on-site, employer-operated health clinics in the area. We believe this is a more convenient and economical way to deliver health care to our employees. And it will certainly reduce non-productive time due to simple doctor and child-related health needs.”
