IU Health Indianapolis Suburban Region president Doug Puckett said: “Fishers is the sixth largest city in Indiana today, and with notable population growth expected each year, could be as much as 50 percent larger by the year 2040.
“Community members and leaders have told us what they need and want from IU Health to best serve that growth.
“Thanks to the vision and investment from our executive leadership team, as well as our regional and system Board of Directors, we’re able to meet these needs.”
IU Health stated that Riley Children’s Health will also commence work on a new dedicated, paediatric emergency department as part of the $300m investment.
The new emergency department will have eight paediatric emergency rooms with a four-bed observation unit, waiting room, triage area, along with a separate paediatric entrance.
It will be staffed 24/7 by the emergency medicine physicians and nurses of Riley Children’s.
