In Hobart, healthcare and community leaders recently celebrated an expansion and remodeling of St. Mary Medical Center Outpatient Center on 61st Avenue. At a ribbon-cutting ceremony November 14, 2024, hospital officials announced the project added nearly 14,000 square feet to an existing facility that’s adjacent to St. Mary Medical Center. Powers Health also said the building consolidates therapy services and also houses occupational health services for work-related care.
