A total of 28 physicians, along with their staffs, will now be known as IU Health Physicians Kidney Diseases. The practice serves adult kidney patients at several inpatient, outpatient and dialysis locations in the Indianapolis area. In addition, IU’s kidney transplant surgeons see patients at outreach locations throughout the state, including Evansville, Fort Wayne, Merrillville and Mishawaka. IU Health Physicians now employs 808 physicians. When it formed in 2009, the practice said it wanted to employ 1,200 physicians by the end of 2011, but it has fallen short of that goal. Other Indianapolis-area hospitals have been aggressively acquiring physician practices in an effort to lock in patient referrals and to better coordinate care among various medical facilities.
