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.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or plans:
“We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“A father ... knows exactly what those boys at the mall have in their depraved little minds because he once owned such a depraved little mind himself. In fact, if he thinks enough about the plans that he used to have for young girls, the father not only will support his wife in keeping their daughter home but he might even run over to the mall and have a few of those boys arrested.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
