ALIGNMENT
Northwest Health - La Porte, La Porte, Ind.,
opened October 2020

FTER JOINING THE regional Northwest Health network of Community Health Systems (CHS; Franklin,
Tenn.), La Porte Hospital received funding to replace
its outdated, undersized, and operationally inefficient facility in La Porte, Ind. CHS wanted the new
facility to align stylistically with the color palette,
materials, and form of other facilities within its network while also providing an updated, modern tone.
The new hospital's exterior and interior palettes will serve as the basis of
design for the health system's future projects.
Designed by Gresham Smith (Nashville, Tenn.), the four-story Northwest Health - La Porte's clean, modern façade marries traditional brick
with modern metal panels and large expanses of glass. Inside, the twostory lobby features decorative stained-glass panels that were relocated
from the former facility for an accent wall behind a monumental stair
that leads to a shared waiting room and registration area on the second
floor. Large windows stacked in the corner of the elevator lobbies and
waiting rooms maximize views of the surrounding area and orient visitors back toward the city.
The $88 million project, which was completed in October 2020, houses
84 private inpatient rooms. To improve care efficiencies, each floor has
multiple nurses' stations as well as separate observation stations outside
patient rooms in the intensive care unit (ICU). The hospital also features
separate circulation for staff; dedicated elevators for materials, equipment, and food service; and a dedicated elevator for patient transport to
surgery, the ICU, labor and delivery, and the rooftop helipad.
In addition to inpatient services, the new 200,000-squarefoot acute care hospital houses emergency, outpatient surgery, cardiovascular care, critical care, orthopedic, and
birthing and family care services.
