Future Plans
Several plans have been devised to use the structure. During Paul E. Patton's term as Kentucky governor, the hospital was considered as a welcome center for those entering Kentucky from the Sherman Minton Bridge. Traffic projections stopped that plan from being implemented.
The basement, which formerly held boilers, is to be used as a 3,450-square-foot (321 m2) multi-use ballroom and rented out for parties and other special events. The building's ground floor is to be used as an interactive center featuring hospital history and artifacts.
The remaining two floors are slated for agencies and organizations specializing in improving community health within underserved urban communities.
Media reports have stated that the University of Louisville is close to signing a deal to put a Community Health Center in the historic building.
