WABASH, INDIANA – Feb. 23, 2021 – Several Parkview and independent medical providers in Wabash
are relocating this month to allow for more efficient use of medical office spaces.
Providers who have been located at 1655 N. Cass St. will move to the Medical Office Building (MOB) on
the Parkview Wabash Hospital campus, and some physicians and other providers will move from the
MOB to the North Cass Street building. Providers will be seeing patients in the new locations by March 8.
“We’ve had a team of people planning every aspect of this move for months,” said Marilyn Custer-
Mitchell, president, Parkview Wabash Hospital. “It’s quite a project to relocate so many providers, but we
feel it will ultimately be the right choice. Patients can still expect to receive the same excellent
experience and high-quality care. When they call to schedule appointments, they will be instructed about
their provider’s new location. Perhaps one of the most noticeable changes is that the Walk-In Clinic will
now be located here on the hospital campus.”
Walk-In Clinic moves to Medical Office Building
The Parkview Wabash Health Clinic Walk-In Clinic at 1655 N. Cass St. will move to the first floor of the
MOB adjoining Parkview Wabash Hospital. Walk-In Clinic providers will begin seeing patients at the

Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday – Sunday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
