MMH announces opening date, open house for new hospital

(BATESVILLE, Ind.) – Margaret Mary Health will officially open the new hospital on Saturday, June 6.

The hospital is nearing the final phases of construction and have announced several milestones leading up to the opening. 

The months of April and May will be spent cleaning the building, installing medical equipment, setting up furniture and stocking supplies.

MMH will also put a significant focus on staff training, including running mock patient journeys that simulate real-world care experiences. 

A community open house will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 31. 

The event will give community members an opportunity to see the new hospital firsthand and celebrate this major milestone together.

“We’re officially on the home stretch,” said Liz Leising, MMH president and CEO. “This project has been years in the making, and we are incredibly excited to welcome our patients, staff and community into a facility that reflects our commitment to innovation and exceptional care.”

The new MMH hospital is located on State Road 229 near Six Pine Ranch Road between Batesville and Oldenburg. 

MMH says the facility is designed to enhance the patient experience, attract new healthcare providers and serve as the anchor of a growing health and wellness campus.

“While a decision has not yet been made regarding the future of the existing hospital, MMH has partnered with Colliers, a nationally recognized commercial real estate firm, to identify potential buyers and developers for the site,” the hospital stated.
