The new name more clearly aligns with the Franciscan Alliance brand, as the physician shareholders of the previously for-profit Franciscan Physicians Hospital sold their shares to the Mishawaka, Ind.-based health system. The term “healthcare” in the new name indicates the hospital’s comprehensive services and the addition of the town identifies its location, according to the release.
Franciscan Healthcare-Munster is planning a major expansion, including an additional emergency department, a bed tower and expanded services, according to the release.
