Riley Children's Health
Since 1924, Riley Children&rsquo;s Health has consistently raised the bar for excellence in pediatric healthcare. As a comprehensive children&rsquo;s health system serving the state of Indiana, the Midwest, and beyond, Riley Children&rsquo;s offers nationally recognized care in a footprint that meets patients and families close to home. Riley Children&rsquo;s operates two hospitals with a total of 475 beds and is Indiana&rsquo;s largest and most skilled pediatric system, with over 50 locations across the state. It combines the specialization of a comprehensive pediatric system with the power of IU Health, the state's largest health system, ensuring patients have access to groundbreaking research and innovative treatments to complement high-quality patient care. Faculty physicians within Riley Children's are members of the IU School of Medicine.
Through enduring collaborations with the Indiana University School of Medicine, Indiana University School of Nursing and Indiana University School of Health and Human Sciences, Riley Children's Health is one of the top 10 sites in the United States for pediatric health research. The Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics, which serves as the research partner of Riley Children&rsquo;s, ranks 6th among all U.S. pediatric programs for National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding. NIH grants are the gold standard in the research community and are widely considered a barometer of a program&rsquo;s impact and success. The Riley-affiliated program is also the only nationally ranked pediatric research program in Indiana and the top-ranked program in the Midwest.<div>
Indiana University Health</div><div>
Indiana University Health (IU Health) is the largest health system in Indiana with nearly 40,000 team members, 15 hospitals, $8.64 billion in operating revenue and a statewide market share of 30 percent. The system&rsquo;s programs in cancer, cardiovascular, neuroscience, orthopedics, pediatrics and transplants have received national recognition for quality patient care.</div>
IU Health, in partnership with the Indiana University School of Medicine, created three institutes &ndash; cardiovascular, cancer and neuroscience - that bring together highly skilled physicians, researchers, and educators into close collaboration to provide world-class care and improve the health of patients and communities across Indiana. IU Health Simon Cancer Center is associated with IU Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center, Indiana&rsquo;s only National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated comprehensive cancer center.
In Indianapolis, IU Health includes three major downtown hospitals: IU Health Methodist Hospital, IU Health University Hospital and Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health. These facilities serve as the system&rsquo;s academic health center (AHC) and provide nationally recognized care to patients from across Indiana and beyond. The system&rsquo;s regional and statewide facilities serve as referral resources to the AHC and facilitate seamless, high- quality patient care throughout Indiana.
In addition to the AHC, IU Health has 12 community hospitals across the state, and a network of strategic partnerships, joint ventures and initiatives, including urgent care centers, ambulatory operations, philanthropic foundations and a health plan. The system&rsquo;s statewide operations provide Hoosiers with access to advanced clinical care without having to travel to Indianapolis.
