(Michigan City, IN) - The old hospital in Michigan City is going to be put to use in a big way.

Franciscan Health officials have announced a 20 million dollar investment for the former hospital

on the city’s west side.

Plans call for partial demolition of the building and continued use of the site for Express Care.

A new program for providing care to senior citizens will be among the other things offered

at the facility, officials said.

What’s left of the structure after demolition will undergo an extensive renovation and repurposing.

The hospital moved to a new facility along at Interstate 94 and U.S 421 just over

a year ago.
