AS OF NOVEMBER 2026 · THE CORRIDOR AND ITS BOUNDARY HOUSES
The health system's chiefs in succession. Beacon Health System — the flag over Granger's Main Street campus and Beacon Health & Fitness Granger — was created in 2011 by the affiliation of Memorial Hospital of South Bend and Elkhart General Hospital, under Phil Newbold, who served as CEO for 30 years. On November 1, 2017 Newbold stepped down and the board appointed his chief operating officer, Kreg Gruber — who had served as president of Memorial Hospital, of Elkhart General and of Beacon Medical Group — as CEO; Gruber remains CEO as of November 2026, leading the system through its July 1, 2025 completion of the Ascension Southwest Michigan acquisition (Beacon Health System releases, Sept. 19, 2017; Becker's Hospital Review, July 1, 2025). The campus's own second rank: Dale A. Patterson, MD, has been president of Beacon Medical Group since January 2023 (Beacon release, Dec. 6, 2022). Succession: Newbold (to Nov. 1, 2017) → Gruber (2017– ).
The present bank chiefs. 1st Source: on October 1, 2025 Christopher J. Murphy III stepped down after some fifty years as president, chairman and/or CEO and became executive chairman; Andrea G. Short, already president of the corporation and CEO of the bank, became CEO and president of 1st Source Corporation, and Kevin C. Murphy became president of the bank (1st Source Corporation Form 8-K and succession release, July 24, 2025). The leg table's "Raclin" could not be verified in any current roster — no officer of that name appears in the 1st Source record, and the name is printed here as an unverified carry-over, not a chief. Lake City Bank: David M. Findlay, president and CEO (GlobeNewswire releases in his name, 2021–2026). Everwise: Jason Osterhage, president and CEO since March 2022 (Get Indiana interview, 2026). The retail founders, at their boundary seats. The Tire Rack (South Bend seat; a Granger mailing pattern, not a Granger seat — the banked People fragment's boundary negative stands): founded 1979 in Indianapolis by Peter "Pete" Veldman, his wife Wilma, and their son-in-law Mike Joines, after Joines could not find tires for his Opel Manta; Veldman, a Dutch immigrant, was president to his death on March 14, 2014; Joines succeeded him, and on April 21, 2025 Scott Clark became CEO with Joines moving to executive chairman; the house has been owned by Discount Tire's Reinalt-Thomas Corporation since 2021 (Tire Rack releases; Modern Tire Dealer, Feb. 24, 2025). The professor-founders. Press Ganey (South Bend): founded 1985 by Irwin Press, a medical anthropologist, and Rod (Robert) Ganey, a sociologist-statistician, both then professors at the University of Notre Dame — the leg table's "Ganey" is Rod Ganey (Press Ganey, "Our history"; company record). Its present chief is Patrick T. Ryan, executive chairman and CEO; in October 2025 Qualtrics announced its acquisition of Press Ganey for $6.75 billion including debt. The corridor firm whose founder was unnamed. Anchor Construction LLC of 7121 Grape Road (founded 2006, banked fragment) now prints a principal in its current profiles — Matthew Smith, principal, alongside Senior Project Director Steven Weaver of the Weaver Companies family — but no source reached names the 2006 founder as founder; that want stays a named gap, settler: the Indiana Secretary of State's original 2006 articles and the firm's own history.
