Located at 3901 South 7th Street in Terre Haute, Terre Haute Regional Hospital is a 278-bed Level II Trauma Center. Regional is the only full-service hospital in the area accredited by The Joint Commission and has provided quality care to the Wabash Valley community for 135 years — from its beginnings as St. Anthony’s Hospital to the present day facility.

In 1882, St. Anthony’s Hospital began as the only healthcare facility in the area.

Together with the Sisters of St. Francis, St. Anthony’s Hospital served our community until 1975 when it was renamed Terre Haute Regional Hospital. In 1979, a modern five-story hospital complex was built on the south side of Terre Haute to replace the original building.

Specialties & Services Services provided by Terre Haute Regional Hospital include the region’s only Level-II Trauma Center, cardiovascular services, including open-heart surgery and cardiac catheterization; oncology services, which include radiation therapy and outpatient infusion; labor and delivery, including a neonatal intensive care unit; an inpatient behavioral health unit; and other specialized inpatient areas, including intensive care and inpatient rehabilitation units. In addition, Regional offers fullyequipped operating and endoscopy suites for surgical specialties including neurosurgery, orthopedics, cardiovascular surgery, general surgery, urology, and gastroenterology. Regional has consistently reinvested in the community, upgrading and renovating to provide the best in patient care. Recent additions include a multi-million dollar investment in staff and infrastructure to bring a Level II Trauma

Center to the Wabash Valley—the highest level of care available in a 75-mile radius.

Quality Care Terre Haute Regional Hospital was the first Accredited Chest Pain Center in Terre Haute, and recently received reaccreditation from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care (CPC). Regional was the first hospital in Terre Haute certified in hip & knee replacement by the Joint Commission, and received recertification in 2017. The Commission has also awarded the hospital certification in the treatment of Sepsis.

Regional Hospital is the only hospital in Indiana to receive this certification.

The hospital is a 2017 Press Ganey Guardian of Excellence AwardSM winner for Patient Experience in Outpatient Oncology.

Regional received two awards from Healthgrades in 2017. The Outstanding Patient Experience Award™. recognizes the hospital as among the top 15% of hospitals nationwide, and the Patient Safety Excellence Award™, places Regional among the top 10% of hospitals.

The Hospital was awarded an “A” for its commitment to keeping patients safe and meeting the highest safety standards in the U.S. by The Leapfrog Group. It is Regional’s fifth consecutive “A” grade.

Terre Haute Regional Hospital is an organization dedicated to its Mission, Values and Vision and is committed to providing the highest quality, compassionate care to every patient, every time. Terre Haute Regional Hospital looks forward to continuing to serve its friends and neighbors and growing with the community.
