Clinical

Department of Pediatrics specialists provide care to children in 530 med/surg, PICU, NICU and rehab beds throughout the state of Indiana. Our neonatologists provide care to babies in 240 NICU beds in eight hospitals. We staff 50 PICU beds and 240 non-ICU pediatric beds. Our subspecialty faculty members provide outpatient clinical services at 7 sites in the metropolitan Indianapolis area and 9 additional sites throughout the state. Our primary care faculty provide outpatient services at 30 sites throughout the metropolitan area.

Our department professional billings for clinical services exceed $90 million/year. This does not include billings for primary care services and contractual relationships with IU Health and hospitals outside the metropolitan Indianapolis area. These contracts bring in significant support for the Department.

In 2000, Riley Hospital opened the spectacular 250,000 sq ft Riley Outpatient Center. This beautiful and functional outpatient facility houses virtually all subspecialty outpatient clinics based at the main hospital. It also includes 6 outpatient surgery rooms, a 200 seat auditorium and conference rooms. The 4th floor of the Outpatient Center is principally faculty office space but is designed for expansion of outpatient facilities when needed.

Our main Riley Hospital site currently has 250 med/surg, PICU and NICU beds. A 675,000 sq ft $475 million inpatient addition is under construction—the Simon Family Tower, named after the Indianapolis Simon family who provided a $40 million gift to the hospital. This new addition will have 300 private rooms with 20 new operating rooms and wonderful support facilities for families. After the construction is completed, we will renovate our 1986 building which will become the Riley Mother & Babies Hospital, relocating our high risk OB services from the adult hospital to Riley and including 100 NICU beds, all private rooms. After all of the renovations are complete, the main Riley Hospital will have the capacity for 430 med/surg, PICU, NICU, rehab and child psychiatry beds. At Riley Hospital North we staff a 6 bed PICU, a 20 bed NICU and 22 bed pediatric medical surgical floor. In addition, Department faculty staff Riley at Methodist Hospital PICU (12 beds), the med/ surg floor (30 beds) and the NICU (26 beds). The Riley Strategic Plan includes recruitment of 76 additional clinical subspecialty faculty, expansion of our suburban hospital programs and joint ventures with community hospitals distant from Indianapolis.
