Demolition work begins next week now that voters in Marion County have approved plans for a new $754 million Wishard Hospital. In a Studio(i) interview, Marion County Health and Hospital Corp. Chief Executive Officer Matt Gutwein says planning meetings move into gear today and people will start seeing construction work at the downtown Indianapolis site in March. He attributes the successful effort to pass a bond issue referendum to a "historic" coalition among business, labor and education leaders.
