PROGRAM:

LETA KELLEY introduced Al Gatmaitan and Traci Robison (below left), who talked about the transformation "From Clarian Arnett to IU Health Arnett". The corporate leadership of the IU Hospital, Riley Children's Hospital and Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis joined forces in 1997. The recent name change reflects the relationship of all of the partner hospitals to Indiana University School of Medicine. Al recognized the Arnett doctors present today: Doctors KUIPERS, GRIPE, RAMSEY, HANNEMANN and KELLEY (who is ill today). He also touched on the teaching component at Purdue, led by GORDON COPPOC. All of the IU Health facilities around the state are connected. It is the only health system in Indiana recognized nationwide. For more information, check out their web site at www.iuhealth.org
