Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health flu-related visitor restrictions have been lifted. However, because babies, especially those who are ill or premature, are at higher risk of serious complications if they get the flu, visitation restrictions are still in place for all Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) until further notice.
Our physician-scientists work together to identify the most urgent opportunities for better diagnostic tools, treatments, devices and public health practices for children. These research priorities are set based on what we see in the daily care of patients. We believe we can speed the rate of discovery for the toughest problems in children’s health by uniting the best minds and sharing knowledge.
Riley at IU Health does most of its basic, translational and clinical research in three facilities associated with the Department of Pediatrics at the IU School of Medicine.
Our physicians and scientists collaborate on basic research to find new treatments for childhood conditions and diseases in this advanced 825,000 square foot facility.
