About The South Bend Clinic:

In 1916, Dr. Walter Baker, a South Bend surgeon, was inspired by a visit to the Mayo Clinic and returned to South Bend to establish The South Bend Clinic with five other specialists. The clinic has since grown to include ten campuses, nearly 150 providers, and over twenty specialties. Despite its expansion, it remains committed to patient-centered, physician-led care. In 2021, The South Bend Clinic joined Duly Health and Care, a leading multi-specialty group, to further its mission of improving healthcare and enhancing the well-being of Michiana residents.
