Clarian Arnett’s DR. TIMOTHY FISHER, an Internal Medicine physician, has been named “Patient’s Choice” doctor for the second year in a row by patient rankings on Vitals.com.

The ranking is based on near perfect customer rankings on Vitals.com. The online community totals more than 40,000 patients’ feedback over the year in categories such as promptness, courtesy, bedside manner, and accuracy of diagnosis. Of the nation’s 720,000 active physicians, less than six percent of physicians were accorded this honor in the past year.

Dr. Fisher is a 1983 graduate of Delphi Community High School.

Hodge, a 2006 graduate of Delphi Community High School and a 2010 graduate of Purdue University, will teach in Indianapolis beginning this fall.

Teach For America received a record-breaking 46,000 applications this year. Admission was more selective than ever before, with an acceptance rate of 12 percent.

This fall, more than 8,200 first and second-year Teach For America corps members will be teaching in 39 urban and rural regions nationwide. They will reach students in more than 100 school districts in 31 states and the District of Columbia.
