Indiana University Health Saxony Hospital in Fishers has been renamed to IU Health Fishers as part of a major expansion project aimed at enhancing health care services in the rapidly growing area.
The Fishers Community Impact Project, to be completed by October, includes expanding the hospital campus by nearly 50 percent and adding new outpatient services. This initiative is designed to meet the health care needs of Fishers, now the fourth largest city in Indiana.
“When we began this work to expand services and access to better meet the needs of the increasing population, it became clear the hospital needed a name that better reflects this growth and the broader population we serve,” Soula Banich, vice president and chief operations officer supporting IU Health Fishers, said in a press release.
The expansion will add 50 inpatient beds, bringing the total to 88, and introduce Riley Children’s Health emergency medicine services, including a dedicated pediatric emergency unit adjacent to the existing emergency department.
New and expanded services will include obstetrics and gynecology; ear, nose and throat; nephrology; neurology; and pulmonology.
Existing specialty programs in cardiovascular, gastroenterology, general medicine, general surgery, orthopedics, primary care, and urology will also grow.
The project will also see the development of stand-alone outpatient physician offices in McCordsville and Fishers, expanding access to primary care and specialists.
The hospital expansion is expected to double the workforce, accommodating the increased patient volume and expanded services.
