LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A new hospital coming to West Louisville now has an opening date, according to a release from Norton Healthcare.

“The campus was formed in partnership with Goodwill Industries of Kentucky to bring wraparound services and health care to a single location,” the release said. “Goodwill’s Opportunity Center will be part of the campus and will serve as its headquarters. The center also will provide social services with various community partners.”
When it opens, the hospital will have a 24/7 emergency department inpatient treatment, operating rooms, laboratory services, imaging services, including X-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI, and a retail pharmacy.

“We are bringing a hospital to the community, we’ll bring interview opportunities to the community,” Townsend said. “Even if transportation is not an issue, access means convenience, as well. If we’re hiring for a facility in West Louisville, it makes sense for us to bring the recruiters and the leaders who will be interviewing to West Louisville, just makes sense.”
This is the first time in 150 years a hospital will be located west of 9th Street in the city.
