New statewide medical center seeks to grow healthcare access, workforce in Indiana

University and hospital systems are starting a new collaboration they say aims to increase the healthcare access and workforce across Indiana.

The Crossroads Academic Medical Institute involves Marian University’s medical school, Purdue University, The Catholic University of America and healthcare systems and academic partners across Indiana.

Gov. Mike Braun joined representatives from Purdue, Marian, Daviess Community Hospital and Parkview Health in announcing the initiative Tuesday in Marian’s Tom and Julie Wood College of Osteopathic Medicine.
