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 will include 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.
