In the cool, pre-dawn October hours, while most of the Region was still fast asleep, a convoy of ambulances converged outside of La Porte Hospital for the culmination of a process three years in the making, a move to their new and newly-branded facility: Northwest Health - La Porte.
The new hospital, located at 1331 State St. in downtown La Porte, Indiana, opened its doors to patients at 6 a.m. It marked the end of an era as the doors officially closed at the old facility that had served the town of La Porte and surrounding areas since it was built in 1982.
