Just five years ago this summer, officials from Ascension St. Vincent opened the first of five tiny hospitals in the Indianapolis area, touting them as a new model of ease and comfort for patients.
The Ascension St. Vincent microhospital will join the growing Discovery Park District at Purdue, which includes corporate business ventures and collaborations with the university, key research hubs, and student and family housing. The district is adjacent to Purdue University’s campus.
Ascension St. Vincent and Purdue University are pleased to announce plans to build a neighborhood hospital in the Discovery Park District at Purdue, adjacent to Purdue University’s campus. Ascension St. Vincent has purchased seven acres of land from the university located at the northeast corner of Airport Road and Highway 231. The facility will bring inpatient and emergency care within the city of West Lafayette for the first time.
