Ascension St. Vincent Indianapolis — Indianapolis, IN

At 840 beds, Ascension St. Vincent Indianapolis is the faith-based tertiary and teaching hospital that absorbs much of Indiana's most complex trauma, transplant, and cardiac work.

• The trauma setup is unusual: ACS-verified Level I for both adults and children (Peyton Manning Children's Hospital shares the campus), a Comprehensive Stroke Center, and Indiana's only ABA-verified burn center treating adults and kids alike, all of it feeding imaging and respiratory demand.
• Interventional radiology and robotic thoracic surgery put techs on image-guided cases across CT, X-ray, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, and MRI.
• The St. Vincent Heart Center covers interventional cardiology, cardiac catheterization, electrophysiology, and cardiac surgery, with cardiac CT and MRI rounding out the imaging.
• Respiratory therapists run an ECMO program tied to the largest solid-organ transplant program in Indiana.
• Epic (prior Epic experience helps).
