Special Delivery: Reducing Infant Mortality Through Renovation at Riley

By Jane Everett and Keith Smith

In partnership with the Indiana University School of Medicine, Riley Hospital is home to the largest group of maternal-fetal medicine physicians in Indiana. With the completion of the renovation, the hospital was able to house a labor and delivery unit, a 45-bed Level 3 neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and a postpartum unit in one facility. The upgrade made Riley the first children’s hospital in Indiana to establish an integrated, all-in-one program offering obstetric, delivery, newborn, and comprehensive pediatric sub-specialty services under one roof.
