The NeuroDiagnostic Institute (NDI) is a state psychiatric hospital located in Indianapolis, Indiana. The hospital serves Central Indiana, having replaced the now-closed Larue D. Carter Memorial Hospital.[1] NDI is operated by the State of Indiana Family and Social Services Administration in partnership with the private Community Health Network.[2] The hospital, built on the Community Hospital East campus, opened on March 15, 2019, as Indiana's first new state psychiatric hospital in decades.[3]

History

NDI was announced in 2015 as the successor to the State's aging Larue D. Carter Memorial Hospital.[3] Compared to Larue, NDI has a larger staff (500 versus 350), more beds for pediatric patients (65 versus 42), and significantly more security cameras.[1] [4] Completed at a cost of $118 million, NDI is designed to serve 1,500 patients annually for acute and chronic mental illness, chronic addictions, adolescent autism spectrum disorders, traumatic brain injuries, and neuro-degenerative illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease.[1] [5]
