IU Health Saxony Hospital in Fishers is undergoing a substantial phased expansion project, part of the "Fishers Community Impact Project," with the bulk of renovations and expansions expected to be open by October 2025. The $300 million project, which began planning in 2018 and broke ground four years later after delays due to the pandemic, will increase the hospital's bed capacity from 50 to 88. The expansion will double the hospital's footprint and add new service lines, including a pediatric emergency department staffed by Riley Children's emergency medicine physicians and nurses. The project aims to provide needed services that previously required residents to leave Fishers. Following the completion of the expansion, the hospital will be renamed IU Health Fishers. Construction on site is expected to continue into 2026. [4, 10]

The America First Legal Foundation, a conservative legal group, has publicly called on Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita to launch a civil rights investigation into Indiana University Health. The group alleges that IU Health is implementing "illegal" race and sex preferences throughout its operations, including in areas like hiring, vendor selection, and potentially organ transplant eligibility criteria. In a letter sent to Rokita on June 11, the foundation claimed that IU Health's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives violate both state and federal law. They provided documentation that they contend supports their accusations of demographic quotas in hiring, preferential treatment for vendors based on race and gender, and the integration of equity metrics into medical decision-making, citing IU Health's participation in a federal program related to organ transplant access as an example.

A new initiative in Indianapolis is working to provide healthcare access to individuals recently released from incarceration. The non-profit organization Public Advocates in Community re-Entry (PACE) has partnered with Aspire Indiana Health to offer medical services through a mobile clinic, known as MACY (Mobile Access Care for You), parked at the PACE building. This collaboration aims to overcome significant barriers to healthcare for this population, including distrust of traditional healthcare systems, cost, and competing basic needs like housing and employment. The mobile clinic is available not only to PACE clients but to anyone in the area needing care, particularly focusing on those who are unhoused or managing mental health and substance use disorders, thereby bringing essential health services directly to an underserved community.

Workers, project leaders, and trade partners recently gathered at the site of Indiana University Health's new Downtown Indianapolis Hospital to celebrate two significant milestones: Construction Safety Week and the topping-out ceremony for the 2.5 million-square-foot facility. The events were hosted by the joint venture team of Gilbane Building Company and F.A. Wilhelm Construction, as part of an effort to recognize safety, collaboration, and progress on this major healthcare construction project, which is one of the largest in Indiana's history. The new hospital is intended to substantially expand the medical campus to accommodate future patient care requirements and help attract leading medical and research professionals. It will consolidate services from both Methodist and University hospitals, which is expected to result in an estimated $50 million in annual operating cost savings. The project will cover 44 acres and is planned to include 50 operating rooms and 380 outpatient exam rooms, constructed by a team of approximately 500 workers. Construction Safety Week, held from May 5–9, followed the national theme “All in Together – Plan. Own. Commit.”

The leader of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) has reportedly stated that the state's new long-term care program for Medicaid members over the age of 60, known as Pathways, has not met its expected outcomes and is significantly over budget. This revelation highlights financial and operational challenges within key state-administered healthcare programs that impact a vulnerable population and are part of the broader healthcare environment in Indiana where systems like IU Health operate and interact with Medicaid beneficiaries. The Pathways program's performance and budget issues are a notable development in the state's efforts to manage long-term care for its senior population.
