Norton Children’s, a comprehensive pediatric health care system based in Louisville, plans to build a new pediatric care campus that will include a full-service hospital for children with complex medical needs, research facilities and expanded specialty services. The project marks a major expansion for the healthcare system and will feature the system’s second dedicated children’s hospital. 

The new campus will be located on more than 150 acres near the intersection of interstates 64 and 265 in Jefferson County. It will complement care provided at Norton Children’s Hospital, Norton Women’s & Children’s Hospital, Norton Children’s Medical Center and other specialty and clinical locations throughout Kentucky and Southern Indiana. 

The site will be developed in phases, beginning with construction of the new full-service pediatric hospital. Future plans include behavioral and mental healthcare, expanded clinic space for pediatric specialists and research facilities to support development of new treatments and cures for childhood conditions. 

To ensure the campus reflects the community’s needs, Norton Children’s will host listening sessions across Kentucky and Southern Indiana over the next year. Sessions will begin in Louisville in July and expand to other cities.
