Ascension cuts ribbon on Women and Infant Hospital
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Ascension St. Vincent on Monday marked the grand opening of its Women and Infants Hospital, an advanced $200 million, eight-story facility dedicated to high-level care for mothers and infants, on its main Indianapolis campus at 2001 W. 86th St.
Community leaders, elected officials, and Ascension staff attended the celebration and blessing, which commemorated the completion of the two-year project.
The new 268,000-square-foot hospital is designed to deliver comprehensive care, especially for mothers and infants with complex and critical medical needs, while focusing on family-centered treatment.
“The design of this hospital puts families first,” Julie Schnieders, MSN, CNP, Vice President of Women & Pediatric Services at Ascension St. Vincent, said. “Our couplet rooms will allow mothers and babies to stay together, even if one or both require intensive care. It’s truly a family-centered approach that enhances both medical care and the emotional well-being of our patients.”
