Ascension St. Vincent in Indianapolis broke ground on a new Brain and Spine Hospital. The facility is part of a $325 million expansion of the 86th Street campus on the city’s northwest side announced in May 2021. Ascension says the four-story hospital will help meet a “significant growth” in demand for dedicated neuroscience clinical spaces, and include eight operating rooms, 36 intensive care unit beds, and an intensive care step-down unit, reports Inside Indiana Business.
Ascension St. Vincent Indiana CEO Jonathan Nalli said the hospital will create a regional destination for complex neurosurgical care.
Carmel-based Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine has been a longtime partner with Ascension St. Vincent and will be one of the medical groups staffing the hospital.
As part of that partnership, the hospital will include the establishment of a residence training program. Goodman Campbell President Dr. Jean-Pierre Mobasser says one of the company’s goals is to increase its academic and research footprint. Read more.
