St. Louis-based Ascension Health has announced it will open an office in Indianapolis to provide support services to its 70 hospitals and more than 400 facilities, according to an Indianapolis Star report.
The $10.9 million administrative facility, which is being dubbed a "ministry service center," is expected to bring 500 jobs to Indianapolis, according to the report. The center is expected to open by next summer.
Indianapolis beat out several other locations Ascension was considering. The city's Economic Development Corp. will give the health system $5 million in job tax credits and $90,000 in job training grants as well as an infrastructure support grant of up to $300,000, according to the report.
