St. Mary Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Launches New Medical Facility for Valparaiso Community

The soothing sound of a waterfall drifts through the air. Spacious waiting rooms with large windows connect with the nature scene outside. A large fireplace sparkles merrily in a room fashioned after a café. You would never guess that this lovely building is a cutting edge medical facility.

St. Mary Medical Center feels more like a spa than a health facility. Valparaiso’s newest health center, opening to the public on Monday, February 4, 2013 boasts state-of-the-art medical technology and a wide range of quality services.

By housing varied medical fields (family medicine, oncology, weight loss, diagnostic imaging, etc.) under one roof, the St. Mary staff is able to work collaboratively to deliver efficient and responsible healthcare. This group effort allows many patients to receive same-day results for diagnostic testing, significantly decreasing anxiety and stress.

“The Valparaiso Health Center represents our philosophy of bringing the highest quality services to the community we serve,”Janice Ryba, CEO of St. Mary Medical Center, said. “We are all committed to providing quality, convenience and expertise among beautiful, comfortable surroundings.”

In order to build the best facility possible, those in charge of the St. Mary project sought the input of those who will use the center: the patients.

“We listened to members of the community and built something to fit their needs,” Mary Fetsch, Marketing Director for St. Mary Medical Center said. “Our leadership is very committed to quality. We want to enhance the patient experience.”
