The new outpatient center in downtown Mishawaka was built on a special place. It honors the late Denny Schwartz, president of Valley Bank & Trust Co.
The Beacon Health System 25,000-square-foot, two-story center is built on the same corner where the bank opened in March 1968. Schwartz was a Memorial Health System and Memorial Hospital Foundation board member.
The $21.7 million facility sits across from the Mishawaka Public Library with parking between Main and Church streets.
“This location is driven by growing patient demand for care and services close to home,” said Diane Maas, Beacon's chief strategy and digital transformation officer, in a press release. “Building in the heart of downtown Mishawaka reflects our commitment to patient access and convenience with advanced technology and the outstanding care our patients expect at Beacon.”
The facility's services include MRI and mammography imaging, physical therapy, primary care and specialty medicine, including obstetrics and gynecology, and noninvasive cardiology.
“This investment by Beacon Health System in downtown Mishawaka is another strong example of the momentum we are building as a community,” said Mishawaka Mayor Dave Wood. “Expanding access to high-quality health care services right in the heart of our city not only improves the lives of our residents but also strengthens the vitality of our downtown.”
The facility will be dedicated in April.
