Ascension, the St. Louis-based parent of Indianapolis-based health system Ascension St. Vincent, confirmed Friday that it plans to close 11 facilities in central Indiana, citing “a significant operational toll” from the pandemic.
The closures are expected to occur in the next 90 days, according to an Ascension statement.
“The global COVID-19 pandemic has taken a significant operational toll on health systems across the country, and as we continue to evolve how we deliver care in this challenging environment, we will be partially or fully discontinuing operations at several Ascension Medical Group St. Vincent locations,” the statement read.
“Impacted locations will remain open at this time with the majority closing in 90 days. Notifications to patients will begin over the coming weeks and we are committed to ensuring continuity of care for all whom we are privileged to serve.”

The shutdowns mark the latest of several waves of Ascension facility closures in Indiana in the last year.
In October, Ascension announced that it planned to close its critical care hospital in Bedford, as well as nine Ascension Medical Group practices in Lawrence County.
In June, Ascension St. Vincent confirmed the closure of 11 immediate-care centers in central Indiana.
Also in July, IBJ reported that Ascension St. Vincent had closed a small “neighborhood hospital” in Noblesville, just five years after opening it as the first in a new model of tiny hospitals around central Indiana.
