The South Bend Clinic employs a staff of 610 at its five campuses in South Bend, Granger, Portage, Ironwood and New Carlisle, and at its offices in Elkhart and Berrien Springs, Michigan.

These combined facilities serve nearly 300,000 patients a year.

"The ability to immediately access all the different colleagues and specialties under one roof, to share expertise and speed up the flow of treatment and diagnosis across all disciplines, will deliver clinical value in terms of improved outcomes, and it should deliver economic value," says Paul Meyer, South Bend Clinic's Chief Executive Officer. "Medical knowledge is expanding faster than anybody can keep up with, and so the ability to be in an environment where you're learning from each other is important."
