Who they are
You are looking at OrthoIndy Hospital in Indianapolis, a physician-owned acute-care orthopedic hospital at 8400 Northwest Blvd. The work sits inside a focused ortho system—Main, South, and West hospital sites plus clinics, urgent care, PT, and imaging—rather than a sprawling multi-specialty campus.

More about Orthoindy
Daily census runs small (around eight), average length of stay about 1.7 days, and CMS grades the staffing A with 2.81 RNs per bed and nursing HPPD of 48.8. On the floor, inpatient nights are three 12-hour shifts from 7:00pm to 7:30am with four weekend nights in each six-week schedule. PACU/PPOP can look like three 10-hour weekday shifts from 5:00am to 3:30pm, part-time around thirty hours, minimal call, and the unit closed on six major holidays. Nurses on Glassdoor and Indeed describe staffing as above average compared with large hospitals and talk about teams that treat patients like family, though management scores lag the overall marks and one RN was blunt that pay runs lower than elsewhere. Outside the building, Indianapolis sits a few points under the national cost of living, Indiana is a compact-license state with a flat income tax near three percent, and the system’s recent Press Ganey and multi-year Healthgrades joint-replacement honors show up in how patients rate nurse communication.
Physician-owned orthopedic practice with a stated mission to provide comprehensive orthopedic care; leadership credits physicians and staff commitment to patient-centered care on recent patient-experience awards.
