With its major expansion project projected for completion in a few months, Indiana University Health Saxony Hospital has officially been renamed IU Health Fishers.
The long-planned name change is part of IU Health’s ongoing Fishers Community Impact Project, a $300 million investment expanding services at the health care facility at 13000 E. 136th St.
According to an announcement from IU Health, the project is on track for completion by late October and includes a significant expansion of the Fishers hospital campus and services, along with offsite outpatient access to primary care and specialists.
“Fishers is now the fourth-largest city in Indiana and the population continues to grow rapidly,” stated Soula Banich, vice president and chief operations officer supporting IU Health Fishers. “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.”
The expansion includes standalone outpatient physician office developments in McCordsville and Fishers. When complete, the square footage of the Fishers hospital campus will have increased by nearly 50 percent and will double the hospital’s workforce.
The expansion adds 50 inpatient beds, bringing the total to 88. It also adds Riley Children’s Health emergency medicine services, including a dedicated pediatric emergency unit next to the existing emergency department. New and expanded services will be offered in obstetrics and gynecology, ear, nose and throat, nephrology, neurology and pulmonology, along with other services.
“It’s an exciting time to be part of our IU Health Fishers team as we expand services and deepen our commitment to the community,” stated Dr. Larry Stevens, chief medical officer. “While our name is changing, our commitment to delivering the same great care our patients know and trust remains stronger than ever. There’s still important work ahead as we move toward project completion this fall, but we’re energized by the progress and the opportunity to serve this growing community as IU Health Fishers.”
