FORT WAYNE – Parkview Health announced investments in women's and children's services at Parkview Hospital Randallia, including the construction of a Level II Special Care Nursery (SCN) and an expansion of the Family Birthing Center (FBC) to support growing maternity volumes. The multimillion dollar project will enhance access to maternity and newborn care for families across the region.
With construction set to begin in May, the estimated $10.8 million project includes a Level II Special Care Nursery spanning approximately 6,300 square feet with 12 private rooms and 14 beds – two of which will be dedicated to twins. The FBC expansion will add six postpartum rooms across approximately 7,300 square feet, each expected to support up to 100 additional deliveries annually.
"Over the past several years, the Parkview Regional Medical Center NICU has undergone multiple expansions, yet the community's need for higher‑level newborn care continues to grow," said Dr. Tony GiaQuinta, physician leader for children's services at Parkview Health. "Our commitment is simple: Every newborn who requires critical care should have immediate access to the services they need, close to home. Adding a Level II SCN at Randallia allows us to care for more babies who need additional support, while ensuring those requiring intensive care can be rapidly transferred to PRMC's NICU."
