Parkview Health leaders broke ground Wednesday for a new facility to be built in Warsaw. Parkview Warsaw, an 86,000-square-foot facility, will be located adjacent from the Parkview Warsaw YMCA off Mariners Drive. The medical complex, a two-story, $20 million project, will offer services including an emergency department, outpatient care and physician offices. It’s anticipated that more than 100 jobs will be created at the new facility and the construction is projected to be complete in late 2015, according to information from Parkview. “Parkview is committed to improving the health and well-being of the communities we serve and we’ve been looking forward to the day we could expand upon what we offer the residents of Warsaw, Kosciusko County and beyond,” Mike Packnett, president and CEO, is quoted as saying in the release. “Many hours of careful thought and evaluation went into the planning of this facility and I’m excited to be here today, breaking ground for what will be a great asset for this region.” Services to be included at Parkview Warsaw include 24/7 emergency room services; a helipad for medical transport; outpatient laboratory; diagnostic imaging such as X-rays, CT scans and ultrasounds; and specialty physicians and Women’s health services. “The construction of Parkview Warsaw will help to create a unique campus,” said Scott Gabriel, president of Parkview Warsaw and Parkview Whitley Hospital. “Our partnership with the Parkview Warsaw YMCA further complements our efforts as we each share a similar vision focused on the health and well-being of our community members.” The Parkview Center for Healthy Living will also be located on the campus, inside the YMCA. The Center for Healthy Living will offer services focused on holistic health and wellness information to help individuals be proactive with their health decisions.
