Welcome to The Methodist Hospitals!

We are continuously working towards our goal of becoming the most respected, the most comprehensive and the most reputable health system in the area by providing the best sub-specialty care available for Heart, Cancer, Bariatrics, Stroke/Rehab, Emergency and Women’s Services. Methodist Hospitals has a longstanding history for providing quality healthcare to all those in need regardless of their ability to pay. Your care and comfort are very important to us and I assure you that the physicians, nurses and employees at Methodist Hospitals are dedicated to making your visit exceptional. We continue to be committed to our mission to provide quality healthcare to all those in need.

Methodist Hospitals has taken the lead role in the formation of a task force involving Methodist Hospitals, Indiana University Northwest, state legislators, and city leadership to begin the due diligence in exploring the concept of building a new teaching hospital in Gary, Indiana. This coalition will be a collaborative effort of partners combining their efforts to study the feasibility of a teaching hospital in Northwest Indiana. This facility will improve the quality of healthcare in Northwest Indiana and serve as an economic development engine for the region.

Over the last year we have invested $36 million in patient care technology. This includes 64 slice CT scanners at both campuses and Northwest Indiana’s only biplane imaging system. We are also proud to announce that we have received several awards from HealthGrades, the nation’s leading independent healthcare ratings organization including, The Women’s Health Excellence Award, ranking Methodist Hospitals in the top five percent of healthcare providers and the Stroke Care Excellence Award for the fifth consecutive year. This award recognizes Methodist Hospital’s clinical excellence for treating stroke patients, placing the facility in the top ten percent nationwide for stroke services five years in a row. Methodist Hospital is also being recognized for five star ratings for Treatment of Pneumonia, Treatment of Bowel Obstruction and GI surgeries and procedures.

Our stroke program also received the 2009 Bronze Initial Performance Award by the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association. These recent awards follow a number of already nationally recognized services over the past few years including: Accreditation with Commendation for our Cancer services, Center of Excellence designation for our Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery services, and last but not least, our US News and World Report ranking in America’s Top 50 hospitals for our neurology and neurosurgery services. These awards and national recognition are a testament to the excellent work and dedication of our physicians and staff.

I am proud of all that we have accomplished!  I want to thank you for your support and commitment to Methodist Hospitals. We continue to work towards our vision of being the best place for employees to work, the best place for patients to receive care, and the best place for physicians to practice medicine.  We are proud to present to you the New Spirit of Methodist.
