Parkview History and the Park Views Newsletter


The History of Parkview Hospital (first named Fort Wayne City Hospital) and its transformation to the now Parkview Health Systems goes all the way back to 1878.

The hospital went through a series of name changes, including:
Fort Wayne City Hospital (1878-1891)
Hope Hospital (1891-1922)
Methodist Hospital (1922-1953)
Parkview Memorial Hospital (1953-1955)
Parkview Hospital Randallia (1955 - Current)
Parkview Health's flagship hospital campus, Parkview Regional Medical Center, was founded in March 2012.
