    IU Health Saxony Gets New Name, Doubles in Size in 2025

    Residents in Fishers have watched construction begin and continue over the past few years, dubbed the Fishers Community Impact Project due to its scope both on and off campus - but most projects will come to completion in 2025. The $300 million project began in 2018 with conversations involving planning and design, but it would be another four years before breaking ground. “Our intentions were to get the ball rolling in 2020, but the pandemic pushed back our timeline so we could focus on caring for immediate needs,” said Senior Project Manager Carl Zenor. “It did allow us to get the details ironed out and make sure we were giving patients what they need.” Those needs were determined by evaluating the market and asking Fishers residents what they were missing from their local hospital. “Many residents were leaving Fishers for certain services,” said Chief Operating Officer Soula Banich. “We identified those additional service lines that were needed, and the campus will go from 50 beds to 88 beds.” In order to expand current services such as their cardiovascular care, gastroenterology, orthopedics, general medicine, general surgery, and primary care, as well as obstetrics and gynecology, ear, nose and throat, nephrology, neurology, and pulmonology, the footprint of the hospital will double.
