Summary
When patients require comprehensive state-of-the-art care, a reliable and continuous supply of electricity is essential for both their well-being and their satisfaction. To meet these demands, backup systems must power life-safety and critical loads when public power outages occur. In addition, Parkview Health needed to expand its existing backup power system to avoid disrupting revenue-generating activities.

To obtain a solution, Parkview Health sought power control systems and transfer switches that use reliable proven designs, streamline Joint Commission compliance, offer comprehensive local service and support, and expand to meet future power needs.

Key Facts

The Parkview Regional Medical Center opened as a 300+ bed, one million square foot facility in Fort Wayne in 2012.
ASCO provided power control systems and automatic transfers switches to bring three 2-megawatt generators online during public power outages.
Parkview Health is expanding the facility and its backup power system. In 2020, ASCO equipment will connect 8 megawatts of generator capacity with expandability for more.
