The Next Evolution of Community Hospital South

In response to growing demand for medical services in southern Marion County and Johnson County, Community Health Network is launching a $130 million expansion of Community Hospital South. Designed by patients, physicians, and nurses, the project will include a new, five-story patient tower; an expansion of the hospital’s surgical services; renovation of all existing units to private rooms; an expanded lobby; additional parking; and convenient, expanded outpatient services.

This major expansion follows the 2007 openings of Community South’s new emergency department and the renovation of the Indiana Surgery Center South. Full story >>
