Cancer Care
Cancer care includes a variety of treatments, systematic therapies, surgery and clinical trials.
IU Health Paoli Hospital specializes in rural, community-based services to serve south central Indiana.
Our hospital includes a 24-hour emergency department with air transport availability. We offer many services, including:
IU Health allows up to four visitors—including children ages 2 and up if accompanied by an adult—to visit, together, for most patients.
Visitors must screen negative for COVID-19 and follow all masking and safety guidelines while on site. Find more details below.
These guidelines may vary by facility based on the local environment. Some areas, such as NICUs, may have additional restrictions.
Masks are required in the following locations:
Masks are required for any patient with respiratory symptoms or when indicated by isolation procedures.
Medical grade masks will be available at no cost to you. Masks are not required in public spaces, such as cafeterias, lobbies, gift shops, restrooms and when walking in hallways.
Patients may be dropped off or picked up at the main entrance or as directed on the pre-visit information from your doctor’s office.
Parking at IU Health Paoli Hospital is free, with parking lots and entrances conveniently located to help patients and visitors get to their destinations quickly.
The IU Health team members at the information desk are happy to help you and answer any questions. They also have wheelchairs for your use if you need them.
Our healthcare team understands that having family and friends around is important to the healing process. Your family is welcome anytime, but we do ask guests to follow the guidelines below.

In general, it is a good idea to check with a guest relations team member before bringing a child as a visitor. Children younger than age 14 must be accompanied by an adult, other than the patient, at all times. Some units may require health screens or have other limitations on children visiting.
For your protection, people should not visit if they are sick, especially if they have a sore throat, cold or fever.
All IU Health facilities are smoke-free. For the safety of everyone, smoking is not allowed in any IU Health building or on the grounds.
All IU Health facilities are alcohol and drug-free.
It is the policy of IU Health that no one, other than IU Health Security Officers or on-duty Law Enforcement Officers, carry or have in their possession a firearm or weapon while in a IU Health facility. Law enforcement officers should check in with IU Health Security if they plan to carry on premises.
Listening to our patients and their families helps us understand the experiences they have at IU Health Hospitals so we can serve them even better. We encourage patients and their families to take a moment to provide feedback and suggestions for how we could improve our service.
