Welcome to Allied Physicians of Michiana:
The concept of the organization originated when a number of area physicians determined that, in the face of government regulations, insurance issues, and pressures to control costs, they could still honor their commitment to patients and to the sanctity of the physician-patient relationship by joining together to deal more effectively and efficiently with these new business issues. Their motivation in coming together was to protect patients by protecting their relationship with them. The objective was to combine the business operations of multiple physicians in several group practices of varying size and specialty, into a single, efficient company, to ensure that the physicians involved could continue to devote their time and talents to patient care. Allied Physicians of Michiana, LLC became a reality July 31, 1997.
Allied Physicians of Michiana includes the following specialties and practices:
- General & Vascular Surgery
- Heart Specialist, PC
- Houser-Norborg-MacGregor Medical
- Institute for Orthopedic & Nerve Surgery, Inc.
- OB-GYN Associates of Northern Indiana
- Otorhinolaryngology
- South Bend Orthopaedic Associates
- Urology Associates of South Bend
Allied Physicians of Michiana is a growing alliance of physicians. Our philosophy is that we are all working in partnership, as allies in our efforts to provide the highest quality healthcare, at reasonable cost, for the family members, friends, neighbors, and employees who, at various times and for various reasons, become our patients. We share a vision of what a physician-patient relationship is and should be. And that shared vision was and will continue to be the most compelling reason for forming Allied Physicians of Michiana.
Allied Physicians Surgery Center
In February 2000, Allied Physicians of Michiana expanded its services by opening a new ambulatory surgery center on Carmichael Drive in South Bend, at the corner of Douglas and S.R. 23. The surgery center was opened to relieve the scheduling pressures on hospital operating rooms. In addition, it allows more resources to be devoted to trauma and other more intensive in-patient procedures, while at the same time, helps control the quality and cost of out-patient procedures.
