Norton Healthcare - Planned Growth

Planned Growth

In March 2006, Norton Healthcare received state approval to move the inpatient beds at its smallest hospital, Norton Southwest Hospital, to a new hospital at the Old Brownsboro Crossing development in northeast Louisville. The acute care beds at Norton Southwest Hospital were deactivated, and the location has since been renamed Norton Southwest Medical Center. The facility retains a full-service Emergency Department, physician offices, a variety of outpatient services, and an inpatient nursing and rehabilitation facility (Park Terrace) operated by a third party.

The first phase of the new development is an outpatient care center called Norton Medical Plaza which opened on July 10, 2006. The second phase will be a 127-bed acute care hospital. On September 13, 2006, Norton officials announced that hospital would be named Norton Brownsboro Hospital.
