Boutiques aren’t just for shopping...

The Unity Medical and Surgical Hospital Experience Enjoy the personalized service you expect from your favorite boutique – at a Michiana hospital. Unity Medical and Surgical Hospital is a boutique hospital offering patients a unique experience that merges medicine with comfort and sophistication. As a five-star quality hospital, we offer the same services as area hospitals, but provide the personal care and attention that comes with a small boutique facility.

Patient focused and physician driven, Unity Medical and Surgical Hospital is recognized for customer satisfaction, ranking in the 98th percentile for service. With low nurse-to-patient ratios, patients can feel confident that their care is of the utmost concern for the facility and the staff.

And speaking of staff, some of the top physicians in the area are on staff at Unity Medical and Surgical Hospital. A number of specialists as well as general practice physicians treat their patients here. Their specialties include: pain management, urology, physical medicine, plastics, internal medicine, gastrointestinal, general surgery spine, podiatry, ophthalmology and orthopedics.

While visiting, enjoy these other amenities at Unity Medical and Surgical Hospital:

I don’t do all this in a vacuum. My husband is an amazing father and 55% of the equation.

During the hours I’m not home, he’s taking care of the girls – cooking, cleaning, doing laundry – you name it!

We really are partners in that sense. If he wasn’t as active in our family, I couldn’t do all these things I’m currently able to do.

The little things are important to us.

When it comes to your newborn’s health and safety, the little things are probably pretty important to you, too. Which is why we now offer a Level 2-B Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, along with certified neonatologists and experienced neonatal nurse practitioners right here in our Special Beginnings Maternity Center. This way, you can be sure that should a situation arise, we’ve got the right people in place, ready to help. Because when it comes to watching over your little one, no amount of caring is too big, or too small.

To learn more about our maternity services, visit egh.org.
