IU Health Fort Wayne Hospital
IU Health is deepening its commitment to northeast Indiana through the construction of a new full-service hospital in Fort Wayne.
Designed to expand access to high-quality, patient-centered care, the hospital will bring a broad range of services, including emergency, surgical, and specialty care, closer to home for individuals and families in the region.
By investing in Fort Wayne’s future, we’re building more than a hospital — we’re creating space for healing, innovation, and connection.
Through trusted partnerships, integrated care, and a growing team of skilled providers, IU Health Fort Wayne will advance our mission of making Indiana a healthier state for all.
