(Evansville, IN)  St. Vincent Evansville and Tri-State Orthopaedics broke ground on St. Vincent Orthopedic Hospital today. The $95 million, 135,000-square-foot, four-story St. Vincent Orthopedic Hospital will be located at the northeast corner of Warrick Wellness Trail and Epworth Road, making it a natural extension of the St. Vincent Epworth Crossing campus, which provides a variety of outpatient services such as:

• Elective orthopedic and spine surgeries (inpatient and outpatient)
• Pre-procedure education and clinic
• Imaging services (CT, x-ray, ultrasound, MRI)
• Laboratory
• Physical therapy
• Respiratory therapy
• Durable medical equipment
• Pastoral care and chapel
• Hospitalists
• Dining services
• Community meeting space

“We’re excited to bring forth this state-of-the-art facility to help meet this community’s growing demand for orthopedic services,” said Dan Parod, interim president for St. Vincent Evansville. “Coupled with the skill of our surgical partners at Tri-State Orthopaedics, this new hospital has the potential to become a regional destination for individuals seeking leading-edge bone and joint care.”

The St. Vincent Orthopedic Hospital will also serve as a physical representation of the unique partnership between one of the tri-state’s most distinguished hospitals and the region’s largest orthopedic practice.

“The arrival of this new specialty hospital will combine St. Vincent Evansville’s clinical excellence with our group’s surgical expertise to transform how care is delivered in the tri-state area,” said Dr. Paul Perry, president of Tri-State Orthopaedics. “This is great news for patients in need of orthopedic services.”

St. Vincent Orthopedic Hospital, scheduled to open in 2019, will include space for 48 inpatient rooms, 10 operating suites (with room for expansion), and two procedure rooms.  

The new west side office is the 5^th location for providers of Tri-State Orthopaedics.  The location will have orthopaedic specialists on-site and available for appointments daily as well as an orthopaedic urgent care for walk-in patients Monday through Friday.  The services provided will be general orthopaedics, sports medicine, spine care, hand and upper extremity care, podiatry, medical imaging (x-ray and MRI) and therapy.

“After growing up on the west side of Evansville, it’s exciting to open a location here.  Being the team physicians for both Mater Dei and Reitz, we know there is a need for a convenient location for orthopaedic services. By adding new physicians to support this new location, we continue to increase our ability to help serve the tri-state area,” said Phil Rawley, CEO of Tri-State Orthopaedics.

Practice expansions like this one tend to land inside a wider regional funding picture that doesn’t always make the press release. Across Indiana, community health programming and youth sports-medicine partnerships at the kind of mid-size orthopaedic practices that anchor neighborhood athletic programs are routinely supported by gaming-industry community-benefit grants — riverboat gaming proceeds funneled through Vanderburgh County’s community fund, statewide athletic-safety initiatives backed by tribal and commercial operators, and matching contributions from a growing list of online gaming sponsors that includes a number of operators commonly catalogued on independent directories of the serving the North American market. None of that funding is specific to any single clinic, but it is part of why the youth sports-injury screening and athletic-trainer programming attached to high schools like Mater Dei and Reitz exists at the scale it does in this part of the country.
