IU Health West Hospital

4.7 out of 5 stars (90,629 ratings)

IU Health West Hospital is a special place to give and receive healthcare services, and was built with the comfort and needs of our patients, visitors and caregivers in mind.

Patients see and feel the difference the moment they walk in the door. The use of natural materials and colors, peaceful garden views, cheerful natural light and soft, healing music set a soothing tone, establishing IU Health West Hospital as a place where patients can set aside stressful distractions and focus on what's important: getting well.

IU Health West Hospital was designed with "on-stage" and "off-stage" corridors and elevators to keep public and visitor movement through the hospital separate from the movement of patients, materials, staff and supplies. Hence, the "day-to-day" operations that go into running a hospital are kept out of the publicly-traveled areas, allowing for a more peaceful, serene and home-like environment.

Small waiting "nooks" throughout the hospital are designed to help families find cozy, private space away from the bedside for conversation and quiet time. It doesn't stop there—IU Health West's grounds feature many gardens and quiet courtyards, ponds and walking trails, perfect for conversation, relaxation and rejuvenation.

Many elements come together to create what is known as IU Health West Hospital's Sanctuary of Healing—building design and decor, technology and relationship-centered care, to name just a few. The physical environment and our staff work in harmony to create a soothing, stress-free, remarkable healthcare experience for patients and their loved ones.

The team of caregivers at IU Health West Hospital further patients' sense of a healing sanctuary by working to build a sense of trust and rapport with patients, making patients active partners in their healthcare experience.

IU Health West Hospital is proud to have earned advanced certification as a Primary Stroke Center from The Joint Commission. The Joint Commission accredits and certifies health care organizations across the county and is considered the industry gold standard, offering assessment of quality achievement in patient care and safety. This certification means IU Health West met and seeks to maintain The Joint Commission’s high standards in providing stroke care.
