Eskenazi Health

What Eskenazi Health does

Eskenazi Health is the public hospital system for Indianapolis and Marion County, Indiana, operating as a political subdivision of the State of Indiana. Founded in 1859 and currently employing 1,001-5,000 staff, the system delivers comprehensive acute, primary, specialty, mental health, and emergency care across the Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital, the Sandra Eskenazi Mental Health Center (two buildings), the Eskenazi Outpatient Care Center, and a network of nine or more federally qualified health centers distributed across Marion County, supplemented by mobile units and family-planning sites. Its technology backbone is the EpicCare electronic health record with the MyChart patient portal and EpicCare Link for external provider access; the system's most differentiated technical asset is an open-source AI tool that combines the Quick Dementia Rating System with Passive Digital Markers, validated in a 5,300-patient randomized trial across its FQHCs that increased Alzheimer's and related dementia diagnoses by 31% within 12 months without additional clinician time.

Eskenazi Health generates revenue primarily through patient care services billed across Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial payers — a model appropriate to its safety-net mandate to serve patients regardless of ability to pay. Secondary revenue flows include grants from nonprofit funders such as Direct Relief for community health programs targeting homeless patients, and donations channeled through the Eskenazi Health Foundation (a 501(c)(3) originally established in 1985 as Indiana Health Institute, Inc. and renamed in 2011). The system is an academic affiliate of Indiana University School of Medicine and a primary teaching site, and conducts hundreds of research studies annually in partnership with academic and industry collaborators including the Regenstrief Institute, University of Miami School of Medicine, and Lamar University.

Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and direct-to-provider: patients access services via a 24-hour nurse-staffed Eskenazi Health Connections hotline, online appointment requests, physician referrals, or walk-in access across health centers. The system serves a horizontally segmented population — general Marion County residents, mental health patients, homeless individuals, and dementia-risk patients — with targeted programs in each segment. Regulatory designations (ACS Level I Trauma Center, Baby-Friendly Hospital, URAC Specialty Pharmacy accreditation, and #1-in-Indiana rankings on the Lown Institute Hospitals Index for community benefit, avoiding overuse, and health equity in 2025-26) anchor its competitive position as a designated public safety-net provider that competitors cannot easily replicate.
