Indiana University Health (formerly known as Clarian Health) is a not-for-profit, academic medical health center that is the most comprehensive healthcare system in the U.S. state of Indiana,[1] comprising more than 20 hospitals and health centers statewide. It has a partnership with the Indiana University School of Medicine, one of the nation’s largest medical schools.[2]

In 2010, nearly 23,000 IU Health professionals delivered service through more than 135,000 admissions and more than 2 million outpatient visits.[3]

History

On January 1, 1997, Methodist Hospital, Riley Hospital for Children and Indiana University Hospital and Outpatient Center consolidated to form Clarian Health. Located in Indianapolis, the health system later grew to include other hospitals and health centers across the state.

On January 24, 2011,[4] Clarian Health held a special dedication ceremony to officially adopt its new identity — Indiana University Health.

The new name, Indiana University Health, more clearly defines the health system’s mission and statewide focus, and results from the most significant market and customer research in its history, which gathered insight from thousands of patients and their families, referring physicians and staff members across the state. Its new identity does not impact the existing corporate structure of the organization. Indiana University Health remains an independent, non-profit health system with the Methodist Church[5] and Indiana University Board of Trustees serving as corporate board members, and retains the same board of directors and president and chief executive officer.

Leadership

Indiana University Health has a 13-member board responsible for ensuring the health system carries out the goals of its mission and for approving its budget, long-range plans, medical staff appointments, new services and major policies.
