Local healthcare landscape in Valparaiso
Northwest Health - Porter lists its address as 85 East US Hwy 6, Valparaiso, IN 46383, and its site lists Heart Care Services and an Accredited Chest Pain Center. The city's Envision Valparaiso 2030 comprehensive plan, adopted 06.24.13, describes Porter Hospital relocating all of its facilities to the northwest corner of U.S. 6 and SR49, outside of the City limits. For named areas, the plan cites the Washington Street Historic District, which extends north of downtown to Pine Street, and the Banta Neighborhood, located east of it. The plan also says Downtown is a distinguishable place, and the Historic Preservation Commission lists Courthouse Square among the areas on its historic neighborhood tours.

What we'd prioritize for a Valparaiso practice
Picked from the figures above by fixed rules.
An opening for plastic surgeons
No NPI-registered plastic surgeons list a practice address in Valparaiso (nationally there is one for every 58,824 residents). That leaves fewer local competitors for a plastic surgeon in search; see our marketing for plastic surgeons.
Start with reviews and the Google Business Profile
One NPI-registered dentist per 664 residents in Valparaiso (US: one per 1,340). That is 2.0 times the national rate. We would start with the Google Business Profile and review management.
A crowded field for chiropractors
1.9 times the US number of NPI-registered chiropractors per resident (one per 1,759 residents). A chiropractor here needs a clear focus and real reviews: see our marketing for chiropractors.
Put insurance and payment options up front
The median household income in Valparaiso is $69,872, against $80,734 for the US. We would list plans accepted and financing options on every page of the website.

What Our Clients Say
I’ve had a great experience working with Medi-Edge. They helped design and build our website and have also been handling our SEO and online advertising. I’ve been very satisfied with both the quality of their work and the results so far. Kellen, the owner, has been especially great to work with. He’s been very responsive, helpful, and personally involved whenever I’ve had questions or needed assistance. It’s been nice working with a company where the owner is accessible and genuinely cares about making sure you’re happy with the service. Overall, the entire team has been easy to work with and understands the needs of a dental practice. I would definitely recommend Medi-Edge to other dental /medical practices looking for help with their website, SEO, and digital marketing.
As a fairly new business going into our 5th year I can say this company truly walks it like they talk it. There are many companies promising new companies the stars and the moon and as a new business you have to take risks and invest. If your looking stop and sign up with this company, constant communication, monthly updates, and can always reach them whenever you need an update to your website or help with your google business. I'm glad we found this gem and we always keep it real at IMED DTLA so if your a new business this is your sign. Not only are the prices reasonable the work is amazing and efficient!
I’ve had a great experience with media-edge marketing Kellen and his team are very responsive and always get to my requests in a timely manner.
