A coordinated effort began early in the morning on Sunday, December 5, 2021, to move all current hospital patients from the Indiana University Health Bloomington Hospital location on West 2nd Street to the newly completed IU Health Bloomington Regional Academic Health Center (RAHC) on Discovery Parkway.

The new 620,000-square-foot facility will serve over 470,000 people across 11 counties. The hospital is also an educational center and will help provide training to Indiana University students seeking medical careers.

The facility is designated a Level II Obstetric Unit, Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and Level III Trauma Center.
