NORTHWEST INDIANA | Powers Health and Orthopedic Specialists of Northwest Indiana (OSNI) are pleased to announce their collaboration on a new, state-of-the art orthopedic ambulatory surgery center in Crown Point.

The Joint & Spine Center at Powers Health, set to open in spring 2025, will serve as a regional destination for patients seeking exceptional orthopedic and spine care. Conveniently located at 201 101st Ave., the 11,000-square-foot facility will offer a range of orthopedic procedures in a modern, comfortable environment. Services will include hip and knee replacements, minimally invasive spine procedures and robotic-assisted surgery, as well as shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, foot and ankle care.

The Joint & Spine Center is located on the same campus as Powers Health Rehabilitation Center and the soon-to-open Cancer Care Center, creating a medical hub for the community.

“Our partnership will leverage and strengthen the resources of both Powers Health and OSNI to continue to provide exceptional orthopedic care and spine surgery,” said Donald P. Fesko, president and CEO of Powers Health.

Nitin Khanna, MD, an orthopedic spine surgeon with OSNI, echoed those sentiments.

“Uniting two established organizations bolsters fellowship-trained orthopedic and spine surgery services in our communities to benefit our patients,” Dr. Khanna said.

Michael Knesek, MD, is one of the fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons who will treat patients at the Joint & Spine Center.

“Our orthopedic surgery programs are nationally recognized for high quality, outstanding patient experience and successful outcomes,” said Dr. Knesek, a Powers Health provider. “Our patients will have excellent personalized care close to home.”
