On Jan. 18, more than 150 Ascension St. Vincent medical nurses, physicians and transport personnel moved 76 patients — including 63 neonatal intensive care unit babies — from the former Ascension St. Vincent Women’s Hospital to the new facility, according to a news release shared with Becker’s.
The new $200 million, 268,000-square-foot facility is funded in part from Ascension St. Vincent Foundation’s Care for Tomorrow campaign, chaired by former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning. It includes 109 private NICU rooms and is connected to the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital and the main Ascension St. Vincent Hospital.
“Our new Women and Infants Hospital will play a key role in developing and sustaining partnerships with community hospitals across Indiana who rely on us to handle the most critical medical situations,” Ascension St. Vincent Indiana CEO Kevin Speer said in the release. “The result will be lives saved.”
Ascension St. Vincent Women and Infants Hospital is part of Ascension St. Vincent, which operates 19 hospitals as well as affiliated joint ventures, medical practices and clinics.
