More Beds In IN

Indiana hospitals have increased the state’s intensive care unit capacity by about one-third…in preparation for an expected surge in coronavirus-related illnesses. So far, hospitals have added about 500 critical care beds to give the state 1,940. Health officials say hospitals continue to create more ICU capacity by converting operating and recovery rooms space. The state’s goal is to double the pre-virus intensive care capacity and Indiana’s count of 1,177 ventilators to meet an anticipated COVID-19 case surge in the coming weeks.
