News Release

MISHAWAKA — HealthLinc has completed renovations to an unused section of its Mishawaka clinic, expanding services for underserved residents in St. Joseph County.

A ribbon-cutting and grand opening for the renovated area, which was made possible with grants from private donors and the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County, has been scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 24.

The Valparaiso-based federally qualified health center said the project at 420 W. 4th St. adds dedicated areas for women’s health and obstetrics, behavioral health, optometry and chiropractic care.

The expansion, which includes 26 exam rooms, a classroom, a conference room and increased staffing, is set to allow 14,000 additional visits. This increased capacity is estimated to help more than 4,600 new patients.

The renovated space will also function as a training site for the organization’s Behavioral Health Residency Program.
