7/2/2024
A groundbreaking event on Thursday, June 27, kicked off the expansion of Lutheran Health Physicians’ (LHP) 52nd medical office serving Allen County and northeast Indiana. LHP is the medical group of Lutheran Health Network (LHN). LHN representatives and community leaders gathered at 1215 Healthcare Place off of Illinois Road to turn ceremonial shovels of dirt – marking where the new 15,700 square foot facility will open in spring 2025.
“As Fort Wayne grows, Lutheran Health Network and Lutheran Health Physicians are committed to meeting the healthcare needs in Allen County and surrounding communities,” said Nicole Rexroth, chief executive officer of Lutheran Health Physicians. “I am proud of our physicians, our leadership team and board members who help guide our consistent growth. We strive to bring quality medical services to this community through skilled providers and accessible medical care,” said Rexroth.
Project scope:
- Medical services to be offered include primary care, central registration, x-ray and lab services.
- The building sits on approximately 3 acres and will offer parking for 120 vehicles.
- An entry canopy will be located near the main entrance.
- The primary care clinic will be arranged into two pods of 12 examination rooms for a total of 24 examination rooms.
- Each pod will have four nurse stations.
- It is anticipated that eight providers will be serving patients at this office.
- The central registration area will include four check-in/check-out bays, a welcome desk, and lobby seating for approximately 70 patients and family members.
- The multi-million dollar project is anticipated to be completed in April of 2025.
“Lutheran Health Physicians offers easy access to medical providers throughout northeast Indiana. The Illinois Road area of Fort Wayne continues to expand and this LHP medical office is being developed to meet that demand for quality medical care,” said Patrick Holly, M.D., medical director of Lutheran Health Physicians.
