Norton West Louisville Hospital offers inpatient and 24/7 emergency care, as well as surgical, laboratory, imaging and retail pharmacy services. The facility also houses medical offices for adult and pediatric specialty and primary care, and employs about more than 350 workers.
Louisville-based Norton Healthcare aims to address significant health disparities in West Louisville through the new hospital. A report from the Louisville Metro Center for Health Equity found that life expectancy for residents in the neighborhood is 15 years lower than in other parts of Louisville.
“Norton West Louisville Hospital was constructed to provide access to quality medical treatment by eliminating obstacles so all residents can live a healthy and prosperous life,” Russell Cox, president and CEO of Norton Healthcare, said in a Nov. 11 news release. “While we have adult and pediatric medical offices in West Louisville, this state-of-the-art hospital will help us care for more patients and continue to put health equity in the forefront.”
Norton West Louisville is Norton Healthcare’s ninth acute care hospital. The health system also operates five hospitals in Louisville and three in Southern Indiana.
