Mishawaka-based Franciscan Health and the Greater La Porte Chamber of Commerce cut the ribbon this week to celebrate the launch of the new Franciscan Health building in La Porte. The expansion created eight new jobs.
The new location at 400 Legacy Plaza West offers the services of a Franciscan Physician Network orthopedic surgeon’s office. It also houses the institution’s WorkingWell program and a HEALTHeACCESS office.
“We are thrilled to be able to provide these services in this location for the La Porte community and beyond,” Franciscan Health Michigan City president Dean Mazzoni said in a news release. “Our newest La Porte location offers easy access for patients and the business community to additional Franciscan Health services right here in their own backyard.”
Thomas Magill, a board-certified Franciscan Physician Network orthopedic surgeon, will attend to patients at the new location. His clinical interests are sports surgeries for upper and lower extremities, hand surgery, joint reconstruction of shoulders, knees and hips and fracture surgery.
The WorkingWell office provides medical care to business and industry, with the primary goal of working closely with employers to ensure employees are working well. This is the 17th location, with 16 in Indiana and one in Chicago Heights, Illinois.
Services include drug and alcohol screenings, DOT physicals, injury treatment, fitness for duty evaluations, injury prevention programs, medical clearance evaluations, vaccinations and immunizations, health risk assessments, respirator fit testing and wellness screenings.
The HEALTHeACCESS is a near site clinic program that provides a wide network of conveniently located clinics, expanded primary/urgent care access for participating companies, and enhances wellness and disease management programs. The program runs on a fixed monthly fee for its functional medicine and wellness portal programs.
The WorkingWell and HEALTHeACCESS offices are open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
