_Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital has been a proud part of Kosciusko County for nearly 50 years. We've grown with the community, expanding services so you can receive care closer to home, family and friends. Being your neighbor and serving our hometown is about so much more than the services we provide._

_It's about caring for our neighbors_

_The physicians, providers and staff live here and raise their families here. We are neighbors providing a deeply rooted, personalized level of care to those who work, play and live close to us._

_It's about improving the health of our community_

_Helping people get well and live healthier is the foundation of our work. In 2024 alone, patients received health care through 291,200 hospital or clinic encounters with providers. This includes more than 16,300 ER visits, 4,800 surgeries and 400 births._

_As a major employer and taxpayer, Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital is a cornerstone of the economic health of our community. We are honored to help and are extremely proud of our hospital's more than $145 million local impact in 2024.

_The cancer care center has delivered extensive services for more than 20 years. Patients requiring frequent testing and treatment - imaging, radiation therapy and surgical services - are able to receive care without unnecessary travel._

_In fall 2024, community members and hospital staff celebrated completion of a multi-year $30 million investment that includes 25,700 square feet of new construction and renovation. Improvements include surgical services expansion and updates; renovations to patient rooms and nurses' stations; a redesigned, customer-friendly lobby and updates to the hospital's façade._
