Riley Children's Health Maternity & Newborn Health

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

Riley Maternity Banner

The Riley Children's Health maternity tower will centralize all inpatient childbirth and newborn care offered at three downtown Indiana University Health hospitals. When the tower is complete, Riley will house the largest number of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) beds in Indiana.

Four floors of Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health will be renovated to house a labor and delivery unit, a 45-bed Level 3 neonatal intensive care unit and a postpartum unit. The Riley Outpatient Center will also be updated to house an outpatient maternal-fetal medicine clinic and will include a new comprehensive fetal center to diagnose and treat fetal patients with congenital anomalies.

The Tower will:

  • Provide comprehensive maternity services, from lowest to highest risk
  • Accommodate 3,800+ deliveries each year
  • Improve patient experience for moms, babies by keeping them together with co-located services
  • House a 45-bed Level 3 NICU, which when added to the 60-bed Level 4 NICU currently in Simon Family Tower, making it the largest NICU in Indiana and among largest in the country.
