City is making strategic investments to improve economic conditions and raise property <br />values in the inner city.” <br /> <br />The LaSalle Square planning already has generated some results. In June, the <br />Redevelopment Commission approved a development agreement between the City of <br />South Bend, Memorial Hospital and Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center to renovate a <br />vacant medical office building across from LaSalle Square to create a west-side family <br />practice facility. <br /> <br />In early 2009, Memorial Hospital and Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center will launch <br />Bendix Family Physicians, a fully staffed physicians’ office at 1010 N. Bendix Drive, <br />under the auspices of the non-profit Community Health Partners of South Bend. The <br />hospitals and private foundations will support Community Health Partners. <br /> <br />Renovation of the medical office building will take place in 2008. The facility is expected <br />to open in 2009. <br /> <br />Community Health Partners will invest nearly $1.2 million to furnish and equip the <br />facility as a full-service medical practice and a venue for community health information <br />and programming, and underwrite ongoing operational costs. <br /> <br />- 30 - <br />
