[2] Parkview Health traces its roots back to Fort Wayne City Hospital, founded in 1878.

[5] In March 2021, Parkview Health launched a graduate medical education program to attract, train and retain physicians in northeast Indiana.

[10] Additionally, the hospital has refused to bill Medicaid for some of its patients even when they qualified, instead placing medical liens directly on their property for rates three to five times as high as the Medicaid rate, potentially ruining these patients’ credit scores.

A 2010s Indiana law requires hospitals to bill normal insurance before pursuing additional debts with a lien.

Parkview has argued in court that Medicaid is "government assistance" and not insurance, so the law does not apply to these disputes; plaintiffs’ lawyers have argued that other hospitals in Indiana treat Medicaid as insurance, making Parkview the outlier.

Parkview lost a court case and the judge held that Indiana law considers Medicaid health insurance.
