Families in Fishers and across Hamilton County now have closer access to specialized pediatric emergency care with the opening of the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital (PMCH) Emergency Department at Ascension St. Vincent Fishers.

The new department offers dedicated pediatric emergency services within the community, with the added benefit of admitting children directly to Ascension St. Vincent Fishers when needed. Hospital leaders say the expansion will allow families to access comprehensive care without the stress of traveling outside the county.

“This new emergency department allows parents to keep their kids close to home in a convenient location when they’re going through an emergency,” said Aleks Overbey, president of Ascension St. Vincent Fishers. “Families can take comfort knowing that, if their child requires additional care beyond the emergency department visit, they can stay right here at Ascension St. Vincent Fishers and receive observation care from Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital pediatricians.”

In addition to the emergency department, Ascension St. Vincent is expanding pediatric subspecialty coverage in its outpatient suite. That means families in Fishers will now have seamless access to both emergency and outpatient pediatric specialists, offering a full range of services from urgent needs to ongoing specialty care.

Hospital officials say the new emergency department underscores a growing investment in pediatric healthcare in Fishers and reflects Ascension St. Vincent’s commitment to serving the needs of children and families close to home.
