Indiana University Health West Hospital

Patients see and feel the difference the moment they walk in the door. The use of natural materials and colors, peaceful garden views, cheerful natural light and soft, healing music set a soothing tone, establishing IU Health West Hospital as a place where patients can set aside stressful distractions and focus on what's important: getting well.
 

The team of caregivers at IU Health West Hospital further patients' sense of a healing sanctuary by working to build a sense of trust and rapport with patients, making patients active partners in their healthcare experience, and allowing them to feel a sense of control, understanding and peace of mind.

IU Health West Hospital was designed with "on-stage" and "off-stage" corridors and elevators to keep public and visitor movement through the hospital separate from the movement of patients, materials, staff and supplies.

Hence, the "day-to-day" operations that go into running a hospital are kept out of the publicly-traveled areas, allowing for a more peaceful, serene and home-like environment.

Small waiting "nooks" throughout the hospital are designed to help families find cozy, private space away from the bedside for conversation and quiet time. It doesn't stop there—IU Health West's grounds feature many gardens and quiet courtyards, ponds and walking trails, perfect for conversation, relaxation and rejuvenation.

Many elements come together to create what is known as IU Health West Hospital's Sanctuary of Healing—building design and decor, technology and relationship-centered care, to name just a few. The physical environment and our staff work in harmony to create a soothing, stress-free, remarkable healthcare experience for patients and their loved ones.

IU Health West strives to exceed your expectations in every way, and provide patient care second to none.
