Lutheran Health Network Celebrates New Facility in Northeast Allen County
11/17/2023
FORT WAYNE, IN – Lutheran Health Network held a ribbon cutting to celebrate its newest healthcare facility today to serve the community in and around northeast Allen County.
The 25,000-square-foot facility at 6515 Stellhorn Road includes a freestanding emergency department on the 1st floor and family and specialty medicine physician offices on the 2nd floor. The medical offices opened on October 27 and the freestanding emergency department will open Saturday, November 18 at 7 a.m.
“Lutheran Downtown Hospital is pleased to bring emergency care to this highly populated area of Northeast Fort Wayne,” said Perry Gay, CEO, Lutheran Downtown Hospital. “This location will be available to assist individuals who are able to walk-in and those requiring transport by emergency medical services.”
The emergency department has 9 exam rooms, a major treatment room, onsite lab and diagnostic imaging services as well as a negative airflow room which helps contain the spread of airborne infections. The emergency department will be open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and will provide quick, convenient care for patients with emergent and potentially life-threatening conditions – heart attacks, strokes, head injuries, fractures, abdominal pain, respiratory issues and more.
“It’s important to us that people have access to care, close to where they live and work,” said Nicole Rexroth, CEO, Lutheran Health Physicians. "It was an easy decision to build this new facility right here in the heart of Northeast Fort Wayne."
In addition to primary care, the medical offices will offer appointments with specialists in bariatric medicine, cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, general surgery and sports medicine. Additional specialists may be added over time.
The project’s architect was T M Partners, the developer was Catalyst Healthcare Real Estate and the contractor was FCI Construction.
For the last several years, Lutheran Health Network has been focused on expanding care locations in areas that are growing for the convenience of our patients. The completion of this project follows the opening of Lutheran Health Network access points in Northwest Allen County and downtown Fort Wayne.
