Accidents happen. Unfortunately, many of them occur when the doctor's office or urgent care center is closed late in the evening or on weekends after regular operating hours. When you are faced with a critical health issue, there is no time to research the best option for quality care.

At NW Indiana ER & Hospital, every scan and test is evaluated by this expert team of physicians, radiologists and technicians to ensure patients get results quickly. Imaging and laboratory services are a pivotal part of effective emergency care and are an important key in providing efficient treatment. MRI, X-rays, and CT scans are invaluable tools that allow doctors to quickly determine the type, severity, and location of an injury. Ultrasounds and other imaging equipment help to identify blockages, abnormalities, and other health issues.
“With access to an onsite clinical laboratory and a state-of-the-art imaging suite, we ensure every patient receives personalized care in a timely fashion,” Samlan said. “At the end of their visit, we want each patient to leave our hospital with a comprehensive follow-up plan and with the satisfaction that they had the best experience possible in their time of need.”
