Pulaski Memorial Hospital (PMH) was the vision of physicians and county leaders concerned with the healthcare needs of the community. In 1963, PMH opened its doors to provide the area with maternity, general surgery, and in-patient care.

The front of the hospital was remodeled in 2002 to include a new physical therapy area and a new lobby. Now a nationally recognized facility, PMH has been selected as a Top 20 critical access hospital and a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Mentor Hospital for Quality.

The Pulaski Health Foundation, Inc. (PHF), a non-profit organization, was originally formed, 50-plus years ago, as the Pulaski Memorial Hospital Foundation to facilitate the construction of the county hospital.

In 1987, PHF built the Pulaski Health Care Center, a skilled nursing facility, in Winamac, Indiana. In 2013, PHF purchased Parkview Haven Retirement Community in Francesville. In addition to skilled nursing, Parkview Haven offers assisted living, independent living, and rehabilitation.

The Health Foundation’s locations are operated by management staff under the PHF Board of Directors. Both facilities were recently awarded the Quality of Care 5-star Rating by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Among the two locations and Riverwood Commons, a senior-housing complex in Winamac, PHF has more than 150 full- and part-time employees.

Hickory Creek Healthcare Foundation is a non-profit, community-based organization committed to providing quality and compassionate long-term care and rehabilitation services to all of its residents. The Winamac site is one of 16 in Indiana and Ohio; it has been operational since 1971. Home to 36 licensed beds, Hickory Creek at Winamac offers a number of therapy options, skilled nursing staff, and other care options.

Peak Community Services (PCS) provides opportunities for individuals to develop life skills that enable them to live as independently as possible and to become contributing members of the community.

In 1955, three women in Pulaski County started a program to provide their special-needs children the opportunity to learn and develop skills. The 18th such program in Indiana was quite progressive for a rural community. The first class, held in the basement of the First Christian Church in Winamac, had 16 students; by 1965, 88 children from Jasper, Starke, Fulton, and Pulaski Counties were attending what had come to be known as the ‘Aurora School’, now located in the former Riley School. Many of the early students were becoming adults by this time, so a Habilitation Center was started at 112 West Main Street for these adults to learn job skills.

In 1988, the Pulaski County agency contracted with Woodlawn Center, in Logansport, for administrative services, and eventually, the two agencies merged to become PCS, which now has two facilities, one in Logansport and one in Winamac, and six group homes, two in Winamac and four in Logansport.

The Court-Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) Program speaks up for children who have been abused or neglected by empowering our community to volunteer as advocates for them in the court system. A CASA volunteer is a court-appointed, trained, and committed adult who ensures that each child’s individual needs remain a priority in an over-burdened child welfare system. He or she gets to know the child while also gathering information from the child’s family, teachers, doctors, caregivers, and anyone else involved in the child’s life in order to make independent and informed recommendations to help the judge decide what is best for the child.

Office hours: Mon.-Wed., 9:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. ET
