Bloomington, IN – Today, the Midwest Proton Radiotherapy Institute (MPRI) formally announced its name change to the Indiana University Health Proton Therapy Center. In 2010, Clarian Health, one of MPRI's parent organizations, announced the decision to clearly define its mission and statewide focus by uniting its hospitals and affiliated services under one identity – Indiana University Health. Because of MPRI's affiliation with Clarian Health, the decision was made to adopt the new name with the nationally recognized system of health care providers.

"This is a very exciting time for us as we align more closely with our parent organizations (Indiana University Research and Technology Center and IU Health)," says IU Health Proton Therapy Center President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Peter Johnstone.

The name Indiana University Health affirms the health system’s unique partnership with Indiana University School of Medicine – one of the nation’s largest medical schools – and is aligned with its vision to provide one standard of preeminent, patient-centered care to the people of Indiana and beyond. All IU Health Proton Therapy Center radiation oncologists have appointments with the IU School of Medicine, and Johnstone serves as chair of the Department of Radiation Oncology.

“We are very proud of our new name, Indiana University Health. Becoming Indiana University Health is about much more than a new name, new logo or new signs on buildings. It’s about our patients and our commitment to them,” said Daniel F. Evans, Jr., president and chief executive officer, Indiana University Health. “It’s about assurance – assurance that our patients and their families will receive the best possible care, wherever and whenever we serve them across Indiana.”

The names of all hospitals within the health system will align with the Indiana University Health name, yet maintain their local identities. Indiana University Health hospital names
• Indiana University Health Arnett Hospital (Lafayette)
• Indiana University Health Ball Memorial Hospital (Muncie)
• Indiana University Health Bedford Hospital (Bedford)
• Indiana University Health Blackford Hospital (Hartford City)
• Indiana University Health Bloomington Hospital (Bloomington)
• Indiana University Health Goshen Hospital (Goshen)
• Indiana University Health La Porte Hospital (La Porte)
• Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital (Indianapolis)
• Indiana University Health North Hospital (Carmel)
• Indiana University Health Paoli Hospital (Paoli)
• Indiana University Health Proton Therapy Center (Bloomington)
• Indiana University Health Starke Hospital (Knox)
• Indiana University Health Tipton Hospital (Tipton)
• Indiana University Health University Hospital (Indianapolis)
• Indiana University Health West Hospital (Avon)
• Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health (Indianapolis)

The services to patients and the staff of the IU Health Proton Therapy Center will remain the same. Becoming Indiana University Health is part of a larger effort to establish a new identity that better aligns the vision to provide one standard of high-quality, patient-centered care.
