Indiana University Health Arnett Hospital is a full-service, private, nonprofit hospital located in Lafayette, Indiana. It is part of the Indiana University Health system. The hospital was the first in Indiana with an American College of Surgeons-verified Level III Trauma Center.[1] IU Health Arnett also has a level III neonatal intensive care unit with 12 beds staffed by four neonatologists and additional 24-hour coverage by neonatal nurse practitioners.[2] As a teaching hospital, IU Health Arnett takes medical, nursing, allied health professions, and other healthcare-related students from the nearby Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM), Purdue University College of Health and Human Sciences, and Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana campuses.

History

The 350,000-square-foot acute care hospital officially broke ground in 2006. In October 2008 Clarian Arnett Hospital officially opened. Clarian Arnett Hospital formed from a joint venture between Clarian Health Partners and Arnett HealthSystem.[3] [4] In January 2011 Clarian Arnett Hospital changed its name to Indiana University Health Arnett Hospital to reflect Clarian's affiliation with Indiana University Hospital and the Indiana University School of Medicine.[5] In February 2015 IU Health Arnett Hospital started an $18 million expansion to add 100 patient exam rooms, three stories, and 75,000-square-ft to the facility. This new facility included physicians' clinic offices, including OBGYN, orthopedics, and surgeons. The project was completed in 2016.[6]

IU Health Arnett is named after Arett C. Arnett, a physician who established a Lafayette clinic in 1922. Arnett graduated from the School of Medicine of Purdue University in 1907, now a part of IUSM.

Daniel Neufelder became president of IU Health West Central Region in May, 2018 succeeding Donald Clayton M.D.[7] [8] [9]
