GREENWOOD,
Ind. – Hundreds of administrative and support staff at Franciscan
St. Francis Health are preparing to relocate their offices to the Education
Services and Support Center at 421 N. Emerson Ave.
The
transition gets under way Nov. 12 and continues throughout the week. An
estimated 300 employees will set up shop at the newly renovated facility, which
formerly housed Alpine Electronics. Additionally, more than 100 people will
visit the building daily for education classes and other training.
Among the
departments moving to the sprawling 135,000 square-foot building: Community
Relations and Marketing, Education Services, Coding, Revenue Management, Business Transformation,
Health Information Management, Finance, Central Patient Access, Central
Scheduling, Surgery Chargers/Schedulers, Printing/Distribution Center,
Franciscan Alliance Information Services, and private offices.
Home Health
and Hospice services will migrate to the facility in early December.
Franciscan
St. Francis acquired the property – located 2.5 miles south of the hospital’s
Indianapolis campus – in late 2011 and began a major refurbishing effort.
Artekna Healthcare Design Solutions were the project architects and Tonn &
Blank carried out the construction.
“Part of the
acquisition included a significant amount of acreage between the building and
Interstate 65, which enables us to consider future growth and development,”
said Keith Jewell, chief operating officer.
The move
coincides with the relocation of clinical services to Franciscan
St. Francis Health Outpatient Services Beech Grove, 2030 Churchman Ave,
Suite B. Those services include imaging (X-ray and ultrasound), lab services
and physical therapy.
The
outpatient center offers patients easy scheduling and same-day appointments
when possible. Appointments can be made by calling 317-528-8555. Office hours
are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Laboratory
services open at 6 a.m. throughout the week and from 8 a.m. to noon on
Saturdays.
