Methodist Hospital

Clarian Methodist opened its doors in 1908. The adult services include a vast array of sophisticated subspecialty medical and surgical services. Residents are directly involved in the care of adult patients admitted to the hospital teaching services. The preceptor model of teaching is utilized on a number of rotations to expose residents to both ambulatory and inpatient components of individual faculty members' practices. The Clarian Cardiovascular Center offers patients the combination of clinical expertise of the Methodist Heart Institute along with the cardiovascular care, research and teaching excellence of the world-renowned Krannert Institute of Cardiology at the Indiana University School of Medicine.

The pediatric facilities include a 33-bed inpatient unit caring for a broad range of acute primary care illnesses and a14-bed pediatric intensive care unit frequently caring for children with trauma, neurological disorders, respiratory distress/failure, or post-neurosurgical or orthopedic procedures. The Pediatric and Adolescent Rehabilitation Program unites advanced facilities with an integrated, family-centered approach to rehabilitative care. The Gentle Beginnings Birth Center and Neonatal Care Program are busy units where care for both healthy and critically ill newborns is provided. The Pediatric Ambulatory Care Center provides urgent care and primary care services for children from birth to age 21 and serves as a major continuity clinic training site. In the last year, the Emergency Department handled more than 115,000 patient visits, including more than 37,000 pediatric patients, making it one of the largest emergency departments in the country. The Indiana Poison Center is located at Methodist.
