AS OF NOVEMBER 2026 · ROW 11
Designations decay, so this close prints each standing with its verifier and its date, and no undated superlative survives it:
Trauma. Memorial Hospital of South Bend stands, as of November 2026, as an American College of Surgeons–verified Level II Trauma Center — stated in Beacon's own current location record ("As the region's only Level II Trauma Center… Trauma care at Memorial meets rigorous national standards for quality as evaluated by the American College of Surgeons") and carried in the Indiana Department of Health's hospital consumer report for Memorial (license 24-005053-1; report created 24 July 2025, posted 6 August 2025), which records "Trauma Center (Certified): Yes." Beacon's 2026 physician-recruitment record states the same standing as "Northern Indiana's only ACS-verified Level II Trauma Center." No trauma designation of any level attaches to Beacon Granger Hospital (boundary, Mishawaka; eight inpatient beds) or to any in-CDP clinic in the IDOH record reached, and none is claimed.
Stroke. The Indiana Department of Health's Indiana Stroke Centers list, read November 2026, seats Memorial Hospital of South Bend, 615 North Michigan Street, as a Thrombectomy-Capable Stroke Center, certifying entity The Joint Commission. Beacon's American Heart Association awards release of 7 October 2026 carries the current performance layer: Memorial Hospital holds Get With The Guidelines®–Stroke Gold Plus, with Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite, Target: Stroke Advanced Therapy, and Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll. The two records are different instruments — a Joint Commission certification of capability, and an AHA quality award — and print as such, neither inflated into the other; Memorial is not listed as a Comprehensive Stroke Center in the IDOH record reached, and that stronger designation is not claimed.
Psychiatry. The inpatient psychiatry seat serving this ground is the Memorial Epworth Center, 420 N. Niles Avenue, South Bend — carried as an off-site service under Memorial's license in the IDOH consumer report above. Its course, at the strength of the directory and hospital record: in March 2011 Memorial Hospital purchased the inpatient assets of Madison Center, the county's mental-health institution, adding approximately 90 beds and starting inpatient psychiatry programs for adults and children at the Epworth Center. That is a service standing, not a designation: no separate Joint Commission behavioral-health accreditation or state psychiatric designation for the Epworth Center verifies in the listings reached, and the want is carried as a gap — settler: The Joint Commission's accreditation listing for Memorial Hospital's behavioral-health services, read directly. Inside the CDP line the care leg's tested negative governs whole and is not disturbed: no mental-health or addiction facility has ever stood inside the CDP; the ground's layer is office counseling at class size. A designation article that ends with one verified trauma standing, one verified stroke certification, and one honestly undesignated psychiatry service is this section's discipline in miniature.
