Lafayette Home Hospital
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lafayette Home Hospital is a 270 bed medical center in Lafayette, Indiana, USA, owned by the not-for-profit St. Elizabeth Regional Health, a division of Sisters of St. Francis Health Services, Inc.
Home Hospital's roots extend to 1869, when the five-bed Home of the Friendless opened its doors to those who couldn't care for themselves. In 1895, it became Lafayette Home Hospital, and in 1901 moved to its present site when a 42-bed, two-story hospital was built. Today, several buildings make up the extensive Home Hospital campus. Besides the hospital, facilities include education, rehabilitation, ambulatory surgery and patient care centers.
Greater Lafayette Health Services announced in late 2005 a plan to close Home Hospital, and construct a new facility called St. Elizabeth East on the city's southeast side. Work on the new facility commenced in late 2006, with occupation planned to occur in December 2009. Plans for how the Home Hospital complex will be used once St. Elizabeth East is complete are still being considered.
