The hospital specializes in numerous treatment areas, including adult cardiovascular services provided in the new Clarian Cardiovascular Center. Methodist physicians and staff performed the first open-heart surgery in Indiana in 1965. The hospital system is also considered a neurosurgery center of excellence, as well as an expert in organ transplantation, urology, neurology, orthopedics and pediatrics.[citation needed] Indiana's first medical helicopter, the LifeLine helicopter ambulance, was based at Methodist and flew its first mission in 1979 from the hospital's helipad.[3] The hospital also houses the Indiana Poison Center. In 2004, Clarian Health became Indiana's first magnet hospital system.[4]
Indiana University Health operates the Methodist Hospital, Indiana University Hospital and Riley Hospital for Children, which were all connected by the Indiana University Health People Mover.[5]
Methodist Hospital is the official hospital for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway: all drivers injured at the Indianapolis 500 and Brickyard 400 are transported there for treatment. As well, it is also the official hospital for the NHRA during the U.S. Nationals.[citation needed] In 2017, Sebastien Bourdais was hospitalized at Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital after an accident during qualifications for the 101st Running of the Indianapolis 500.[6]
The hospital has been ranked in the top 50 hospitals in the United States for 10 consecutive years.[1]
The former Vice President of the United States Dan Quayle was born at Methodist Hospital in 1947.[7]
Expansion
editIn 2022, IU Health broke ground on a multi-billion dollar expansion of the Methodist Hospital campus in one of the largest healthcare construction undertakings in the United States.[8] Expected to open in late 2027, the new 2-million-square-foot (190×103 m2) medical center will feature three 16-story towers and will consolidate adult care services from both Methodist and University hospitals into a single downtown facility.[9] The campus is expected to include 864 private patient beds, 50 operating rooms, and dedicated clinical institutes for cancer, cardiovascular, and neuroscience care.
