Norton West Louisville Hospital chief administrative officer Corenza Townsend said: “Members of our community were instrumental in providing feedback on the services and amenities they wanted to have in their community hospital.
“We hosted several community forums and collected data from a survey that was completed by more than 4,500 people, the majority of who live or work in West Louisville. Norton West Louisville Hospital will evolve to meet the community’s needs.”
The hospital includes special touches like construction beams signed by employees and residents, artwork curated by a West Louisville resident, and a monument honouring medical pioneers in the area.
Louisville mayor Craig Greenberg said: “The first hospital built in West Louisville in more than 150 years is long overdue, and I am thrilled Norton Healthcare is making this investment in our community and the people who live here.
“I am thankful for Norton Healthcare’s belief in this project and am confident this will improve health, wellness and economic well-being for residents who’ve been underserved for too long.”
