Brief History Park Center, Inc. (formerly the Mental Health Center at Fort Wayne) has a long history of providing behavioral health services and collaborating with other organizations to improve the system of care in the community. Services began in 1947 when a volunteer community group formed the first board of directors for the Ft. Wayne Child Guidance Clinic. In 1962, services began at the Adult Psychiatric Clinic with the mission to serve seriously mentally ill adults. In 1967, it merged with the Child Guidance Clinic to become the Mental Health Center at Fort Wayne. The state of Indiana designated it a community mental health center in 1975, with a primary service area of Allen, Adams, and Wells Counties. The main complex of buildings at 909 East State Boulevard was completed and occupied in 1976, later changing its name to the present Park Center, Inc., in 1983. In 1987, Park Center opened a new office in Adams County at 809 High Street in Decatur. Park Center’s facility in Wells County at 1115 South Main in Bluffton was opened in 1989. About us Park Center offers 24-hour, 7 day a week comprehensive services operating through three clinical service centers: Child and Adult Services, Adult Community Services, and Managed Care Services. Park Center staff includes psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, certified substance abuse counselors, psychiatric nurses, case managers, and a range of other professionals. Park Center’s diverse staff is a strong asset, providing expert consultation on cases, working with individuals to find the right solutions to their behavioral health concerns. Staff at Park Center work hard to stay at the cutting edge in health information technology and in the best therapeutic techniques for providing the highest quality of care. In addition to the peer review and clinical supervision system is Park Center’s maintenance of a Total Quality (TQ) system, which is an agency-wide effort that seeks continuous improvement in all organizational activities. In this way we are accountable for service that creates positive outcomes for the people we treat. The

We are competitively priced and those individuals in our three-county service area may be eligible for a fee adjustment for some programs and services if they qualify under Indiana’s Hoosier Assurance Plan. Such eligibility is based on family size, income, and level of disability, and is determined at the time of the first appointment. We also are providers in many insurance plans, and depending on policy coverage, costs will be determined. Payment plans can be designed, if needed.
