Franciscan Health Lafayette Central

It now houses Franciscan Health Community Education, various medical offices and the St. Elizabeth School of Nursing.

St. Elizabeth Hospital opened when six members of the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration came from Germany in 1875 in order to care for the sick in Lafayette, Indiana.

Greater Lafayette Health Services announced, in late 2005, plans to close Home Hospital, and construct a new facility to replace it on the city's southeast side, with St. Elizabeth Medical Center remaining open for critical patient care.

The acute medical units, intensive care and emergency departments subsequently relocated to the system's Franciscan Health Lafayette East location.

Today, the Lafayette Central campus is home to the Healthy Living Center, Community Education, St. Elizabeth School of Nursing and more.
