St. Luke's University Health Network opened the new St. Luke's Heart Hospital at St. Luke's Anderson Campus. 

The five-story, approximately 355,000-square-foot facility is seamlessly integrated into St. Luke's Anderson Campus. A central corridor on each of the upper floors stretches more than 100 yards. With its 140 beds, the Heart Hospital nearly doubles the Anderson Campus' inpatient capacity. 

Despite its size and complexity, the project was completed at a relatively low per-square-foot cost by industry standards. In recent years, St. Luke's has built five full-service acute care hospitals. 

The facility also includes features that will improve flow and otherwise benefit the broader Anderson Campus, including a new and larger cafeteria and a rooftop helipad. The helipad will facilitate the rapid transport of patients to the campus trauma center, which this month earned the highest-level trauma accreditation reserved for the most advanced trauma centers.
