The Wishard Hospital Replacement Facility (now known as Eskenazi) was a planned, state-of-the-art facility owned by Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County. Eskenazi is the safety-net system open to every resident of Marion County, whether insured or not. The hospital is also home to an adult level one trauma center as well as the State of Indiana’s only adult level one burn unit. Eskenazi Hospital treats approximately 19,000 inpatients and 1.2 million outpatients per year.
