Our Community
The friendly, west-central Ohio Community of Lima has a metropolitan population of approximately 43,000 and a secondary medical service area of approximately 500,000 in a ten county area. Lima enjoys easy access to four major metropolitan areas within a seventy mile radius in Ohio and Indiana. The region's economic base is primarily retail sales, agriculture, and various manufacturing presentations.  Lima has a solid educational system consisting of public, private, and parochial schools, easy access to many institutions of higher learning, affordable housing (named #1 affordable housing in the nation), and a low crime rate, making it a great place to raise a family. We offer various cultural and recreational activities including a very active symphony.  The area enjoys little very little managed care activity making it a great place for physicians to practice any specialty.
