WARSAW — In what is being called a tremendous milestone, Parkview Health and Orthopaedics NorthEast (ONE) on Wednesday celebrated the completion of a surgical center on CR 200N in Warsaw.

Officials gathered in front of the Parkview ONE Surgery Center for a ribbon-cutting on Wednesday in a new medical campus on CR 200N.

Chris Johnson, president of Ortho Northeast, said joint replacement will be the focus of the building’s three surgical centers.

“It will be a full spectrum of orthopedic care. From joint replacement, spine surgery, sports surgery, hand surgery, foot surgery — all orthopedics that can be done in the outpatient center,” Johnson said after Wednesday’s ribbon cutting.

Some speakers at the ceremony referred to Warsaw’s label as the orthopedic capital, and Johnson said the community deserves the best orthopedic care.

ONE has been providing care for Warsaw for over 25 years, 

The newest construction is part of an ongoing trend in health care to open surgical centers for procedures that would traditionally happen in hospitals.

Dr. Alan McGee, president of Parkview Health Orthopaedics, said the surgery center will provide access of world-class orthopedic care closer to home.

Other components of the campus are Parkview Physicians Group family medicine office, which has already opened, and OrthoNortheast offices, which is expected to open in the near future..

All combined, the new campus is expected to employ about 100 people, officials said.

The first procedure at the surgical center is set for early  November.

The latest construction is also part of a continued expansion into the Warsaw market by Parkview.

Less than two years ago, Parkview Health completed an expansion at Parkview Kociusko Hospital.
