Northwest Medical Group opened a new $8.3 million location in Valparaiso.
Northwest Health – Porter Interim CEO Dr. James Leonard said the new 20,187-square-foot medical office building is part of a larger strategic plan in the Region.

The plan also includes electronic medical records, more locations and easier access to providers.
