WARSAW — A new approximately 15,000-square-foot campus is set to open in fall 2025 in Warsaw to serve patients’ medical needs.

Parkview Health had a groundbreaking for the location of its Parkview Kosciusko SurgeryONE Center and Parkview Physicians Group Primary Care Clinic and Orthopaedics Northeast Clinic on Tuesday, Aug. 20. It’s located near 350 E. 200N.

The facility, split into two buildings, will have “three operating rooms (and) 12 procedure rooms (with space) to expand as we grow in the future,” said Parkview Orthopedic Hospital Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of the Orthopedic Service Line Marceline Rogers.

Parkview Health President of Orthopedics Dr. Alan McGee noted physicians with orthopedic group ONE will perform everything “from total joint replacement to knee arthroplasties, ACL reconstruction, shoulder surgeries, spine surgeries, foot and ankle procedures (and) hand procedures” at the facility’s outpatient surgery center.

Rogers noted the facility means patients no longer have to travel to ONE in Allen County for operations.

“We really wanted to have a location here in Warsaw to serve the community,” she said.

“Orthopaedics Northeast has actually been here in this community for 25 years, but most of the work previously has been done at Kosciusko Lutheran Hospital, so with Parkview Health here and … ONE’s commitment to Parkview Health, we really expect to grow orthopedics dramatically in this region, not just in Kosciusko County, but the surrounding counties as well,” said McGee.

He said there will be several full-time doctors at the facility with others also coming from ONE in Fort Wayne “to rotate up here and perform the procedures that the other surgeons don’t.”

“We’re extremely excited about the opportunity to be able to build facilities like these here and then provide the surgeries to the community in this county and the surrounding counties as well,” said McGee.

ONE President Dr. Chris Johnson said the new facility means ONE will “bring its subspecialized care we provide in Fort Wayne, the high quality care we have there … to the Warsaw community.”

ONE CEO Lori Pagan said the group will be bringing more doctors into Kosciusko County “actually based in this community and (that) will stay in this community.”

With ONE now set to be on CR 200N, its current location at 1500 Provident Drive, Suite B, in Warsaw will close once the new site is finished.

Pagan noted the reason for expansion is “the growing need for orthopedics in Kosciusko County and the surrounding counties.”

“We’d like to continue to support (Warsaw being the Orthopedic Capital of the World) and keep those companies here,” she added.
