Fishers Community Impact Project

We are building on our promise and creating a new model of care for our Fishers community.

IU Health Fishers Launch Header v2

IU Health’s Fishers Community Impact Project includes a significant expansion of the IU Health Fishers hospital campus and services, and the addition of offsite, outpatient access to primary care and specialists to more holistically meet the needs of what has become one of the fastest growing areas in the state—Fishers and the northeast suburbs of Indianapolis.

The community investment included a re-naming of the hospital campus from IU Health Saxony Hospital to IU Health Fishers. This official name change took place June 27, 2025.

About the Project

The planned expansion will add stand-alone outpatient physician office developments in the community and grow the square footage of the hospital campus by nearly 50 percent. The hospital expansion will add: 

  • 50 inpatient beds, bringing the total to 88.
  • Riley Children’s Health emergency medicine services (now open), including a dedicated pediatric emergency unit built adjacent to the existing emergency department.
  • New and expanded services in obstetrics & gynecology; ear, nose & throat; nephrology; neurology, and pulmonology.
  • Growth of existing specialty programs in cardiovascular, gastroenterology, general medicine, general surgery, orthopedics, primary care (pediatric and adult) and urology.
  • Expansion of support services space to accommodate additional staff and higher patient volumes.

Dubbed the “Fishers Community Impact Project” due to its scope both on and off the hospital campus, the project timeline will vary for the individual elements included. The hospital expansion will be complete in late 2025 and will double the hospital’s workforce.
