Parkview Health

A Message from Sue Ehinger
Chief Operating Officer, Parkview Hospital

Parkview has begun work on a once-in-a-generation regional medical center that will be committed to providing excellent health services to patients and families.

Together with our physicians, Parkview will blend the latest in technology with the best possible patient-centered care. As the area’s largest employer with more than 6,000 full and part-time employees, Parkview’s mission is to provide quality health services and improve the health of the communities it serves.

This is a great time for a project of this magnitude in our community. We will be providing improved healthcare access to the region, and the project serves as an economic development benefit for northeast Indiana.

We plan for greater access to healthcare for the entire region, through the community hospitals we’ve built and through the brand new Parkview Regional Medical Center on the Parkview North Campus in Fort Wayne. Ground for the project was broken in 2008 and the facility will open in 2012.

Yet, even as things change, we remain true to our roots. In 2012, Parkview Hospital, at State Boulevard and Randallia Drive in Fort Wayne, will see a facelift that will create a new jewel in a proud neighborhood. As our track record shows, we’re here for our communities. We are here for our patients. We are here for you.

Now open on the Parkview North campus:

• Parkview North Hospital 
• The Parkview Comprehensive Cancer Center
• Parkview Ortho Hospital 
• The Parkview Outpatient Center
• The Parkview Women’s & Children’s Hospital
• Medical Park 1 office building

Parkview Regional Medical Center Amenities
We are committed to making the hospital feel like a home that is warm and inviting. The design includes color schemes, flooring, windows, low sound, natural lighting, outdoor spaces, and additional amenities that create a healing environment for patients and families. We are building a regional medical center that focuses on patient care and incorporates best practices from across the country.
