The position is effective Aug. 1.

He will replace current CEO Reda Theurer-Miller, who worked with the agency for 39 years. Theurer-Miller will work with Lingo through December to ensure a smooth transition.

Expanding 

Indiana University Health is continuing its push into the Fort Wayne area. 

The health system plans to open a primary care office in the city in August. The center is already booking appointments online and so far has one doctor and one physician assistant listed as staff for the site. 

According to the Journal Gazette, the new office is part of a long-term plan for IU Health to expand into Fort Wayne. Riley Children’s Health, which is owned by IU Health, opened a pediatric speciality office in Fort Wayne in February.  

Top-rated

A Muncie-based bank was listed as a top-rated bank in Indiana by Forbes. 

Forbes Magazine studied the best banks and credit unions in all 50 states and surveyed 25,000 people across the U.S. The survey assessed trust, terms and conditions, branch and digital services and financial advice. First Merchants Bank, which has a branch and a drive-thru location in Portland, ranked fifth on Indiana’s list. 

Acquired

Allegheny Technologies Incorporated recently acquired a manufacturer for aerospace and defense industries. 

The company, parent of Portland Forge, announced it had acquired Addaero Manufacturing, a metal alloy-based additive manufacturer located in New Britain, Connecticut. 

New degree

Ivy Tech Community College has two new options available for those seeking an associate’s degree in secondary education. 

The college was recently approved to add an associate of science in secondary education degree with concentrations in mathematics or biology.

Fifteen locations will begin offering the degree this fall, including locations in Fort Wayne and Muncie. 

The new degree is part of the college’s Transfer as a Junior program, which allows students to earn their associate’s degree and then transfer to any public four-year university in Indiana with automatic junior status.
