Indiana University Health (formerly known as Clarian Health) is a not-for-profit healthcare system located in the U.S. state of Indiana. It is the largest and most comprehensive healthcare system in Indiana,[1] with 15 hospitals and about 29,000 employees statewide. It has a partnership with the Indiana University School of Medicine.[2]

History

On January 1, 1997, Methodist Hospital, Riley Hospital for Children and Indiana University Hospital and Outpatient Center consolidated to form Clarian Health. Located in Indianapolis, the health system grew to include other hospitals across the state.

On January 24, 2011,[3] Clarian Health adopted the new identity of Indiana University Health. The new brand more clearly defines the health system’s statewide focus and status as an academic health center. Its new identity did not impact the existing corporate structure of the organization. Indiana University Health remained an independent, nonprofit health system with for-profit entities, with the Methodist Church[4] and Indiana University Board of Trustees serving as corporate board members.

Leadership

Indiana University Health has a 14-member board responsible for making sure the health system carries out its mission and approving its budget, long-range plans, medical staff appointments, new services and major policies.

IU Health's executive leadership includes[5]:

Academic Medical Centers were assessed across a broad spectrum of care including safety, timeliness, effectiveness, efficiency, equity and patient-centeredness.
