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 later grew to include multiple hospitals and health centers across the state.
On January 24, 2011, Clarian Health held a special dedication ceremony to officially adopt its new identity — Indiana University Health.
The new name, Indiana University Health, more clearly defines the health system’s mission and statewide focus, and results from the most significant market and customer research in its history, which gathered insight from thousands of patients and their families, referring physicians and staff members across the state. Its new identity does not impact the existing corporate structure of the organization. Indiana University Health remains an independent, non-profit health system with the Methodist Church and Indiana University Board of Trustees serving as corporate board members, and retains the same board of directors and president and chief executive officer.
