The Hilltop Neighborhood House (460 S. College Ave.) is a community center which has a mission to help families succeed with a focus on quality, affordable child care. 58 children are currently on the waiting list for scholarships and 36% of Hilltop’s children are from minority groups.
Hilltop Neighborhood House operates on a strong belief system. Beliefs include all people, no matter their age, should be treated with dignity and respect, and Hilltop strives to provide quality programs and services. Service recipients and their communities are involved in the planning and implementation of programs and in developing and maintaining a professional, well-qualified, and dedicated staff. Hilltop's programs and services are operated with fiscal integrity in a partnership with the Board of Directors, staff, volunteers, families and communities.

Additionally, to serve the child and health care needs of the residents of Northwest Indiana, the Hilltop organization developed a Hilltop Community Health Center in 1996, now known as HealthLinc. HealthLinc is a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the health of Northwest Indiana residents. HealthLinc provides quality primary care services without regard for a patient's ability to pay and serves as a community resource for eliminating health disparities. A holistic approach is taken to health and well-being and pride is based on creating a “health care home” for patients. Services include a range of medical, dental and behavioral health care for people of all ages as well as education and community outreach. HealthLinc participates in various research projects and service as a clinical training site for medical students from Indiana University and family nurse practitioner students from Valparaiso University. Provision of medical services can also be found on-site at Porter-Starke Services in Valparaiso.
