Cathy Yoder, MD -Medical Director
Family Medicine Since she was a little girl, Dr. Yoder knew she was going to be a doctor. As a child, Dr. Yoder thought she would be a Pediatrician, but during the course of her training realized that she enjoyed helping patients of all ages and the special bond that a Family Medicine doctor has with the whole family. Dr. Yoder maintains full privileges at St. Francis Hospital and Health Centers. She also maintains “courtesy” privileges at Community Hospital South. As a Board-Certified Physician in Family Medicine, Dr. Yoder does enjoy seeing patients of all ages. She strives to develop a personal and caring relationship with each patient and their families. She also likes being an independent physician; work with all the area hospitals, not for them. As an independent physician, she works directly for her patients and serves as their healthcare advocate. Dr. Yoder completed her medical training at St. Francis Hospital in 1997 where she served a Chief Resident. After residency, she and her family moved to a rural community in northern Indiana where she started in private practice. While she loved rural medicine and the experience it gave her, she also missed the city. Four years later, in 2001, Dr. Yoder moved back to Indianapolis and started her own practice. |

Koshy Oommen, MD
Internal Medicine Dr. Koshy Oommen is a Board-Certified Internal Medicine specialist who moved with his family from Terre Haute to join Premier Family Medicine. Dr. Oommen knew from an early age that he wanted to help people. He began his medical training at Assam Medical College and completed his residency training at Michigan State University’s Hurley Medical Center in 2003. He then worked a year in the hospital, taking care of critically ill patients at Gerber Memorial Hospital in Fremont, Michigan before moving with his family to Terre Haute to join a group of other doctors and start their own practice. In 2016, the local hospital acquired his group practice. As a hospital employee, he missed the personal satisfaction of working directly for his patients. For 14 years, Dr. Oommen divided his time between taking care of patients in his office and more critical patients in the hospital. We are happy he chose to bring his knowledge, critical patient care skills and caring personality to Premier Family Medicine where he focuses on seeing patients in the office. Dr. Oommen is also excited that his patients benefit from the support of a caring medical team. Dr. Oommen, when not taking care of patients, enjoys spending time relaxing with his family and enjoying the many amenities Indianapolis has to offer. |
