What it reported doing in 2024

IU Health North Hospital provides leading family-centered care to Carmel and Hamilton County residents. As a full-service hospital for adults and children with an attached medical office building, IU Health North Hospital brings together physician offices, inpatient beds and operating rooms in a state-of-the-art facility where compassionate caregivers provide superior patient treatment. All patient rooms are private to optimize comfort for each individual and their family, and our wealth of services for adults and children ranges from cardiovascular and orthopedic care to maternity and cancer care. In January 2020, the IU Health Joe & Shelly Schwarz Cancer Center, an 88,000 square foot, two-story facility, opened on the south side of the IU Health North campus. The $55-million investment brings together, all under one roof, cancer services including radiation oncology, hematology-oncology, pharmacy, laboratory and patient navigation to surround patients and their loved ones with the care and support they need. As part of our commitment to fostering the health of our communities, we are proud to also offer the peace of mind that comes with the service and support of Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health's nationally-recognized programs.
