WARSAW, Ind. (WOWO): Parkview Warsaw opened its doors to over 1,000 people for a preview of its services Friday and Saturday.

The $20-million medical facility, which is next to the Parkview Warsaw YMCA on Mariners Drive, started seeing patients in its physician offices in late January.  The facility plans to open its outpatient lab Wednesday. Services will include diagnostic imaging and physical therapy. The full-service ER will open April 14.

A lot of behind-the-scenes work has to happen ahead of the opening, trauma department manager, Stacie Bobeck, said while she was showing off her section of the hospital. They still have to stock the department, install the rest of the equipment and put the doors on the trauma room.

When it’s open, she’ll oversee a staff of registered nurses, advanced EMTs and respiratory technicians. She explained to visitors the department will have a 24-hour ambulance and that the Samaritan Medical helicopter is about a 10-minute flight away.
