The St. Mary Medical Center Emergency Department is now open for patients seeking emergency care at St. Mary Medical Center Outpatient Center.
“Due to tremendous support and growth at our Valparaiso facility, we are expanding our services at this location to serve our community,” said Janice Ryba, St. Mary Medical Center CEO, in a press release. “This expansion demonstrates Powers Health’s continued commitment to offer convenient, high-quality care with advanced technology and services.”

Patients requiring hospital admission may be transported to St. Mary Medical Center.
