Franciscan Health Lafayette East

Franciscan Health Lafayette East broke ground on a $55 million expansion for a new West Tower and a $15 million remodeling of the Central campus for a new high fidelity SIM lab and new location for the St. Elizabeth School of Nursing and other education departments. Additional construction throughout the year also included adding a new surgery suite dedicated for our second daVinci robotic surgery system.  The new YMCA includes physician offices, therapy offices and more.

Inpatient Rehabilitation Center became the first in the state of Indiana to use the Ekso GT robotic exoskelton.
