IU Health Saxony Hospital renamed IU Health Fishers

It’s official! IU Health Saxony Hospital is now IU Health Fishers.

The work to change the hospital name to IU Health Fishers started in December 2023 and has included multiple departments throughout the process.

Team members recently celebrated the official name change with an event held at the hospital. It kicked off with comments from Chief Medical Officer Dr. Larry Stevens and Chief Nursing Officer Diane Hesson, followed by a team member cookout and guided tours through the hospital’s new tower, which is slated to open its doors this October.

“This December, our hospital will celebrate 14 years of serving this community. While a lot has changed and grown since then, our commitment to delivering great care and patient experiences has remained the same,” says Dr. Stevens. “The Fishers Community Impact Project and expansion to this hospital speaks directly to that—we’re growing to meet the needs of this growing community.”

The name change is part of IU Health’s ongoing Fishers Community Impact Project, aimed at enhancing healthcare access and services in what has become one of the fastest growing areas in the state—Fishers and the northeast suburbs of Indianapolis. The project, on track for completion by late October 2025, includes a significant expansion of the Fishers hospital campus and services, and the addition of offsite, outpatient access to primary care and specialists.

“Fishers is now the fourth largest city in Indiana and the population continues to grow rapidly,” says Soula Banich, vice president and chief operations officer supporting IU Health Fishers. “When we began this work to expand services and access to better meet the needs of the increasing population, it became clear the hospital needed a name that better reflects this growth and the broader population we serve.”
