Company news

The Indiana University School of Medicine plans to hire 100 research professors over the next five years in a bid to vault into the top 25 medical schools. If successful, that recruitment drive could boost by 15 percent the number of research-oriented faculty at IU and bring in an extra $35 million to $40 million in annual research funding. If the plan plays out as Dean Dr. Jay L. Hess hopes, the school could become a closer partner with drugmaker Eli Lilly and Co., medical-device maker Cook Group Inc. and other major life sciences companies. Hess’ plans are actually a bit more modest than those advanced by his predecessor, Dr. Craig Brater, who retired last year. Brater wanted IU to become one of the 10 most richly funded medical schools for research, up from about 40th now. To get there, he estimated, the school needed to recruit 400 researchers, on top of the 700 it employs today. But Hess noted that IU would need hundreds of millions of dollars more per year in funding from the National Institutes of Health—IU receives about $100 million per year—to reach that level.

Four doctors who supposedly ran a system of clinics aimed at helping addicts kick painkillers were illegally selling a drug that's supposed to aid in rehabilitation, federal authorities said Friday after raiding the doctors’ clinics in Carmel, Noblesville, Muncie, Kokomo and Centerville. According to the Associated Press, Dr. Larry Ley, 68, of Noblesville, was being held on $1 million bond on drug-dealing charges in Hamilton County Jail. Prosecutors say Ley led the operation. A dozen additional suspects, including three other doctors, are under arrest or sought by police. The probable cause affidavit said patients would go to clinics operated by organizations called the Drug and Opiate Recovery Network or Living Life Clean and pay cash for prescriptions of Suboxone, a drug that can be used to treat addictions to opioid painkillers or heroin. The clinics did not accept insurance. Patients allegedly did not undergo medical or mental exams, and weren't asked to provide medical histories. Office employees allegedly handed out pre-signed prescriptions, the affidavit alleges. In 2013, Ley allegedly wrote nearly 8,500 prescriptions, generating an income of $718,000, the affidavit says.

Union Health includes Union Hospital in Terre Haute and Union Clinton Hospital in Vermillion County north of Terre Haute in western Indiana.
