Seth Warren, President and CEO of Riverview Health spoke at the Cicero Kiwanis Club’s breakfast meeting on Saturday, Sept. 8. Warren shared an update on Riverview Health Westfield Hospital. The new, state-of-the-art medical complex is awaiting inspection by the Indiana State Department of Health and will open later in September.

Riverview Health held an open house for the community on Friday, Aug. 31 that drew in approximately 700 people interested in getting a first glimpse at the new facility, a showpiece located on the east side of U.S. 31 adjacent to Riverview Health Stadium at Westfield High School.

At seven stories high, the medical complex has been designed to serve the diverse needs of individuals who live in one of the fastest growing cities in the state. The hospital, which continues to evolve in scope, currently features a combined ER and urgent care, an inpatient unit, surgery suites, a full array of diagnostic imaging (X-ray, CT, ultrasound, MRI, mammography) drive-thru pharmacy, lab and physician offices.

In addition, Warren said that Riverview Health will be building four new freestanding emergency departments with urgent care services under one roof in north Carmel, west Carmel, Fishers and the Nora area of Indianapolis. Construction is underway with the expectation that all four locations will open in 2019.
