Tentatively scheduled to be completed by October 2025, a groundbreaking ceremony took place Tuesday for the 14,750-square-foot ambulatory surgery center, Parkview Kosciusko SurgeryONE, along with a Parkview Physicians Group clinic and ONE clinic next door.
The new facilities will be on CR 200N in Warsaw, just north of Parkview Kosciusko Hospital.
“The ambulatory surgery center is just an outpatient facility where we’ll do all orthopedic and podiatry services there,” said Dr. Alan McGee, president of orthopedics for Parkview Health, in an interview before the ceremony. “Orthopedics NorthEast (ONE) is the surgeon group who will perform the surgeries at that facility.”
An outpatient facility, after procedures are done there patients will be able to go home several hours afterward.
“They’ll do all type of orthopedic procedures, from total joint replacements to knee arthroscopies, reconstructions, shoulder surgeries, spine surgeries, foot and ankle procedures, hand procedures. Everything orthopedics,” McGee said.
Orthopedic surgeries and recovery time seems to have come a long ways over the years, but ONE has been in the business for a while.
McGee said Orthopedics NorthEast built a surgery center 33 years ago so they’ve been doing outpatient procedures for a long time. “We’ve just not done them up here in this region until just recently,” he said.
Marceline Rogers, chief operating officer for Parkview Orthopedic Hospital and senior vice president for the ortho service line, said the new facility will have three operating rooms, 12 procedure rooms with building to expand as they grow in the future.
Currently, patients from this area do travel to ONE in Allen County, she said, “So, we really wanted to have a location here in Warsaw to serve the community.”
Orthopedics NorthEast has actually been in the Warsaw community for 25 years, McGee said, with most of the work previously done at Kosciusko Community Hospital.

“So with Parkview Health here and ONE’s commitment to Parkview Health, we really expect to grow orthopedics dramatically in this region, not just in Kosciusko County, but the surrounding counties as well,” he said.
There will be at least two, maybe three, full-time doctors at the Warsaw location, but several of the surgeons from Orthopedic NorthEast in Fort Wayne will also rotate to Warsaw and perform the procedures that the other surgeons don’t, he explained.
“We’re extremely excited about the opportunities to be able to build facilities like these here and then provide the service to the community, to this county and the surrounding counties as well,” McGee said.
Dr. Chris Johnson, ONE president, said ONE is one of the largest orthopedic groups in the state and they have a sub-specialized team that takes care of all specialties in orthopedics.
Lori Pagan, ONE chief executive officer, said they have 14 total locations.
“The Warsaw location will be a focus for us for the future,” she said, because of “the growing need for orthopedics in Kosciusko County and the surrounding counties.”
Warsaw being the “Orthopedic Capital of the World,” she said ONE would like to continue to support that and keep the orthopedic companies here.
While ONE does obtain a lot of referrals from physicians, Pagan said a lot of times now insurance doesn’t require referrals. “So if your knee hurts or your elbow hurts, you pick up the phone and call us,” she said. “We’ll have a walk-in clinic and we have several walk-in clinics right now in Allen County, so for injuries, in order to maybe bypass the emergency room, you have the walk-in clinic option at the Orthopedics offices.”
Pagan said ONE has been coming to Kosciusko County for over 20 years.
“Dr. Williams has done a great job and we’re looking to continue to expand that and add more sub-specialities, including spine, joints,” she said.
Johnson said they’re going to bring their sub-specialized care and high-quality care they have in Fort Wayne to the Warsaw community.
ONE currently has a clinic on Provident Drive in Warsaw, but Pagan said they’re looking to expand that and have a more permanent presence so they’ll be increasing the number of surgeons who are based in the Warsaw community and will stay in the community. Once the new facility on CR 200N is open, the clinic on Provident Drive will close.
“We’ll be moving the entire operation over here and more than doubling its size,” she stated.
Johnson said what they’ll do will include “all muscle skeletal issues, and the surgery center here will be sub-specialized in joint replacement surgery, so there will be robotic-assisted joint replacements, minimally invasive hip replacements, minimally invasive spine surgery, sports surgeries, hand surgeries. All orthopedic needs will be taken care of in this area.”
Pagan said the new facility was about three years in the making. “It’s going to be a 9,000-square-foot clinic and then you’ll have the separate surgery center as well,” she said.
During the groundbreaking ceremony, Martin Schultz, deputy district director for Second District Congressman Rudy Yakym, said, “This moment represents a significant investment in the health and well-being of our community. With these new facilities, we’ll bringing advanced care closer to home for hundreds of families, from top-notch surgical services to comprehensive primary care.”
McGee said, “For us, at Parkview Health, to be able to collaborate with our long-time partners at Orthopedics NorthEast, to be able to build a surgery center, alongside with their facility, the office building, that, too, with PPG, to be able to do that together, I believe is an outstanding accomplishment.”
Dr. Greg Johnson, Parkview Health regional market president, stated, “This is a significant moment. As you know, we have been welcomed by Kosciusko and Warsaw into the community, and our job is to bring that Parkview commitment to the community. And it’s not just about building facilities, hospitals and hospital beds. It’s really about bringing our culture and our mission to the community.”
He said the project was incredibly important for a number of reasons.
“It aligns our shared commitment with Ortho NorthEast to provide exceptional orthopedic care,” Johnson said. “The new facility will bring advanced orthopedic care, including joint replacements and sport medicine procedures, right here in Kosciusko County.”
Dr. Chris Johnson said Warsaw is an internationally big part of orthopedics “and we can now bring our sub-specialized, high-quality care to this region. So we’re really going to be expanding the access to care to orthopedic surgery, to truly advance the state-of-the-art orthopedic care, with collaboration with the industry locally.”
He said they will be providing same-day discharge joint replacements.
Dr. Josh Kline, physician executive, said Warsaw is renowned as the orthopedic leader of the world and is recognized as an innovation leader in Indiana.
“Today I want to talk to you about a new model for healthcare that we will bring to Warsaw and the surrounding communities,” he said. “So in 2025, we are going to open our new primary care practice, which will be an enhanced primary care practice. What exactly is enhanced primary care? It’s a team-based model that really leverages our primary care physicians to provide the highest-quality care to a larger segment of patients. So by enhancing access to primary care in this community through a primary care physician and the team that he or she leads, we can improve health outcomes and access to care for Warsaw and the surrounding area.”
The new facilities are Parkview’s latest investment in Kosciusko County, according to a provided news release. After recently completing an expansion that doubled the size of the former Parkview Warsaw, the new Parkview Kosciusko Hospital opened to the public in January 2024. Parkview opened a new occupational health and shared employer clinic on Mariners Drive in November 2023.
