Riverview Health’s first of four new emergency room and urgent care facilities is scheduled to open within the next four or five months. Locations of the four new free standing mini-hospitals have now been identified.
The first, in the Fishers area, will open this fall at 116th Street and Exit 5 Parkway, just east of Interstate 69. It, just like three others being planned, will be open 24 hours a day with a doctor on duty. It is not a hospital in that there will be no overnight beds.
Other locations underway are located at Michigan Road (U.S. 421) and Nottingham Way, a short distance north of 106th Street. It will open next year.
A third satellite location will be found at 146th Street and Hazel Dell Road near existing Riverview medical offices. The fourth facility will be built just off 86th Street in the Nora area of Marion County.
Costs of the ER and urgent care units have not been revealed. But, the hospital is in the process of a $100 million expansion program announced last year which presumably includes the four new outreach facilities.
