Edgewater Health expanded its footprint to include a new clinic in Merrillville and marked the occasion with a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house at the 5495 Broadway location. Dr. Danita Johnson, the organization's President and CEO, greeted guests at the standing-room-only ribbon cutting event. The ceremony was attended by Edgewater Health board members, elected officials, community leaders, and representatives from the Crossroads Regional Chamber of Commerce.
“Edgewater Health is gearing up to celebrate 50 years of healthcare excellence in 2024. Opening our new family medicine and integrative medicine clinic here in Merrillville, on the threshold of that accomplishment, is a significant milestone,” Dr. Johnson said.
Jose Lupe Valtierra, Edgewater Health’s board chair, said, “I am incredibly proud to have witnessed Edgewater’s growth, from its beginnings in behavioral care services to its expansion into family medicine, its opening of the Cedar Lake clinic in 2021 with an emphasis on family medicine and women’s health, and now, this new enterprise into Merrillville. I am proud to play a role in an organization that can boast 50 years of steady growth and give-back to the community.”
