COVID services available
A physician's order is required for COVID-19 testing at Porter Regional Hospital. After order is sent, call (219) 983-8399 to pre-register and schedule a time for the test. Tests may be scheduled between 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday - Friday. Appointments required. Physician order required for test.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately. Porter Regional Hospital is an emergency room, commonly called an E.R., providing critical and life saving healthcare services to patients throughout theValparaiso area through their location at85 E US-6 Frontage Rd. They are required by law to be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even on national holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
While their availability can be enticing, you should really only visit an E.R. if you absolutely have to as they can be quite expensive and have much longer wait times than an walk-in urgent care center. In fact, some insurance carriers have begun to refuse paying for emergency room visits that were in fact non-emergent. An interesting fact that about 50% of emergency room diagnosis could be addressed at a quicker, less expensive urgent care center.

Easy for me about 3:30 pm on Wednesday. No line on this very hot day. Test went very well and I was out of there very quickly to get home to my air conditioning. Good experience (even not knowing results yet) I just got home. Thank you so much staff working out in this heat with gloves and face masks and all.
