For the record on Lutheran Health Network building on Purdue Fort Wayne campus.


Lutheran congregations started Lutheran Hospital Fort Wayne in 1904
They sold it to an out of state Corporation in 1995 and that Corporation was permitted to keep the name Lutheran.


So Purdue Fort Wayne's building was paid for by a Corporation that is NOT connected to Lutherans.


The Fort Wayne Lutherans were the instrumental group that bought Valparaiso University in the 1930s.  They rode the train from Fort Wayne to Valparaiso to seal the deal.
