A Community Conscience

Methodist Hospitals has a strong commitment to responding to the needs of our physicians and patients. Our regional reputation for excellence since 1923 continues to support our market position.

Methodist is a not-for-profit, community-based healthcare system that is governed by a 20 member board of directors. Stewards of our mission, we reinvest in our cities and towns through charitable giving, community education programs, support services, screenings, and by ensuring quality care to our most vulnerable and underserved citizens. We strive to be a part of our community as a strong advocate for its continued physical, emotional and economic well-being. Our primary service areas are Lake and Porter Counties.

Methodist has two full service campuses just 14 miles apart. Northlake is our urban campus in Gary while Southlake Campus in Merrillville is located near one of the Midwest’s busiest retail areas. Combined campus bed capacity is 625 plus nurseries. Midlake Campus is our outpatient facility in Gary conveniently located between our Northlake and Southlake campuses just off of Interstate 94. The Rehab Centers, providing outpatient rehabilitation services at Midlake, opened in 2003. Located adjacent to the main entrance of our Southlake Campus in Merrillville, is our Diagnostic Outpatient Center and Medical Office Building. Built in 2006, this facility provides advanced diagnostic and imaging services and laboratory services as well as professional offices for many of our medical staff.

Our medical staff of more than 500 physicians represents nearly 60 medical specialties. Methodist is a major local
employer with over 2,300 employees. Our volunteer guild is more than 200 strong.

Region Living; A Great Place To Live and To Practice Medicine

Located on the southern tip of Lake Michigan, the Northwest Indiana region is as diverse in lifestyle opportunities as it is in ethnicity. The Indiana Dunes are a natural wonder and provide a beautiful backdrop to our miles of sandy beaches. Entertainment and shopping venues abound, and great home values and good schools blanket our region. The region’s proximity to the greater Chicago metropolitan area also contributes to Northwest Indiana’s livability rating. Indiana’s status as a tort reform state provides a physician-friendly environment for the practice of medicine.
