St. Francis COO answers questions about Beech Grove campus future

The future always has uncertainties. But where you receive your health care shouldn’t be one of them.

The planned consolidation of the inpatient services from St. Francis Hospital—Beech Grove to St. Francis Hospital—Indianapolis in early 2011 will result in a drive for inpatient hospital services of only seven miles down Emerson Road.

But for the 90 percent of all of our patients served at Beech Grove – those seeking outpatient services such as lab, physical therapy and imaging – little will change. St. Francis, continuing its nearly century-long tradition of serving the people, will continue our long-term commitment by providing a range of outpatient services within Beech Grove.

We know you do have questions. That’s why St. Francis chief operating officer Keith Jewell will be on hand from noon to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 3, to answer your questions about the inpatient services consolidation and what it means for your health care. Please take advantage of this opportunity to join in the conversation.

Visit us on Feb. 3 at http://stfrancis-indianapolis.blogspot.com. If you are unable to participate in the chat session, you can e-mail your questions to the St. Francis Community Relations team by 10 a.m. on Feb 3, and we will address many of your questions during our session.

Thank you and, we look forward to hearing from you!
