Methodist Hospitals has launched a new CareFirst facility in Valparaiso, at 1781 W. Morthland Drive. This new facility is the fourth CareFirst facility in Northwest Indiana, joining existing facilities in Crown Point, Merrillville and Schererville. “Methodist Hospitals is proud to launch this new facility, which brings a one-stop source for convenient and cost-effective care to the Valparaiso community,” said Matt Doyle, Methodist Hospitals President and CEO. The new facility offers an Immediate Care Center, a Family Practice physician office, and specialty care, including Orthopedics, Cardiology, Neurology and Podiatry.
CareFirst Immediate Care treats a wide variety of common illnesses and minor injuries, such as colds, flu and fevers, respiratory and urinary tract infections, fractures, sprains and strains, earaches, diarrhea and food poisoning. Immediate Care will be open evenings and weekends to provide an alternative to the emergency room at times when primary care physicians are not open.
The facility will also be home to the practice of Dr. Jonathan Ramos, a Board-Certified Family Medicine physician with more than three years of experience treating Northwest Indiana patients of all ages. Dr. Ramos is also an associate of Dr. Mary Tilak and Associates, which has had a presence in Northwest Indiana of more than 20 years. For an appointment, call 219.299.2736
