Speakers emphasized the role Parkview Marion<br>will play in improving emergency response times, reducing travel for care and strengthening overall<br>community health.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First announced in 2025 as part of the system\u2019s expansion into Grant County, Parkview Marion will<br>use an innovative ER\/urgent care model designed to improve access while helping contain costs for<br>patients.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When patients arrive at the 28,500-square-foot facility, they will be evaluated by providers and<br>treated at the appropriate level of care. Conditions that can be safely managed through urgent care<br>will be billed accordingly \u2014 typically at a lower cost than emergency care \u2014 eliminating confusion<br>for patients seeking walk-in treatment. Parkview first introduced this model with the opening of<br>Parkview Southwest in 2023, where it has been well-received by patients.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAccess to timely emergency and urgent care is critical to the health and safety of any community,\u201d<br>said Dr. Tom Gutwein, emergency department medical director, Parkview Health. \u201cParkview Marion<br>represents a meaningful investment in the well-being of Grant County, helping ensure residents can<br>receive the right level of care, closer to home, when it matters most.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The facility is being designed in partnership with Design Collaborative, the Fort Wayne\u2013based<br>architecture and engineering firm that has collaborated with Parkview on numerous healthcare<br>facilities across the region. The team worked closely with Parkview clinicians and operations leaders<br>to create a flexible, patient-centered design that supports efficient care delivery.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Construction on Parkview Marion is being led by Garmong Construction, an Indiana-based firm with<br>more than a century of experience and a strong track record in healthcare construction. Garmong is<br>more partnering closely with Parkview and the project team to deliver a safe, high-quality facility designed<br>for long-term performance.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once complete, the emergency department will include 10 exam rooms and will be strategically<br>positioned for eastward expansion to accommodate continued growth. A dedicated outpatient clinic<br>wing will house family medicine, comprehensive imaging and lab services, and specialty care across<br>19 exam rooms. Positioned for long-term flexibility, the clinic is designed to expand westward without<br>disrupting emergency operations.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Construction on Parkview Marion is now underway, with the facility expected to open in the fall of<br>2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"776\" height=\"205\" src=\"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Parkview-Health-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Parkview-Health-2.jpg 776w, https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Parkview-Health-2-300x79.jpg 300w, https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Parkview-Health-2-768x203.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<!--AUTO-AD-AFTER-->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;text-align:center\"\n        data-ad-format=\"autorelaxed\"\n        data-ad-client=\"0531879237494766\"\n        data-ad-slot=\"9212395598\"><\/ins>\n    <script>(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MARION, IN \u2013 Parkview Health celebrated the official groundbreaking of ParkviewMarion today, marking the start of construction on a new freestanding emergency department andurgent care facility designed to enhance access to high-quality care for Grant County andsurrounding communities while supporting Parkview Health\u2019s broader efforts to improve affordability.Located at 6334 Corridor Drive, Parkview Marion will provide &#8230; <a title=\"Parkview Health breaks ground on Parkview Marion, expanding emergency and urgent care access\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/?p=99500\" aria-label=\"Read more about Parkview Health breaks ground on Parkview Marion, expanding emergency and urgent care access\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-99500","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","rttpg_featured_image_url":null,"rttpg_author":{"display_name":"Wade Weaver","author_link":"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/?author=3"},"rttpg_comment":0,"rttpg_category":"<a href=\"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/?cat=1\" rel=\"category\">Uncategorized<\/a>","rttpg_excerpt":"MARION, IN \u2013 Parkview Health celebrated the official groundbreaking of ParkviewMarion today, marking the start of construction on a new freestanding emergency department andurgent care facility designed to enhance access to high-quality care for Grant County andsurrounding communities while supporting Parkview Health\u2019s broader efforts to improve affordability.Located at 6334 Corridor Drive, Parkview Marion will provide&hellip;","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=99500"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99500\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":99503,"href":"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99500\/revisions\/99503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=99500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=99500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=99500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
