Indiana University Health, formerly known as Clarian Health Partners, is a nonprofit healthcare system located in the U.S. state of Indiana. It is the largest and most comprehensive healthcare system in Indiana, with 16 hospitals under its IU Health brand and almost 36,000 employees. It has a partnership with the Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM). The IU Health system has a total capacity of 2,696 beds.
IU Health’s creation dates to January 1, 1997 when three Indianapolis hospitals—Methodist Hospital, James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children, and Indiana University Hospital – merged to form Clarian Health Partners. The hospitals were operated as one institution with three locations. Based in Indianapolis, the hospital system soon grew to include other hospitals and health centers across the state.
