Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health
The Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health is a children's hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. It is named for James Whitcomb Riley, a writer and poet who lived in Indianapolis. As of 2017, Riley is affiliated with the Indiana University School of Medicine and operated by Indiana University Health.
In 1916, a group of prominent citizens from Indianapolis, who knew Riley, started the Riley Memorial Association (later called Riley Children's Foundation) to build a children's hospital in memory of Riley. The hospital opened in 1924. In 1950, the foundation started Camp Riley, a camp in south central Indiana for children with disabilities.
Ranked eleventh overall out of about 250 children's hospitals throughout the U.S. by Child magazine, Riley Hospital for Children serves as Indiana's only comprehensive pediatric medical center. Together, they help more than 57,000 patients annually. If a family is not able to pay for its child's medical costs, Riley offers medical care to all Indiana children regardless. The hospital has 247 licensed beds, 11,105 admissions and observation cases, 162,466 outpatient visits, 15,000 emergency department visits, 2,028 full-time staff, and 235 medical staff.
