This development aims to enhance the services offered by the existing Norton Children’s Hospital and other affiliated facilities across Kentucky and Southern Indiana.
Development of the site will occur in stages, starting with the construction of the new paediatric hospital.

To align the campus with the requirements of the community, Norton Children’s will conduct listening sessions throughout Kentucky and Southern Indiana, commencing in Louisville next month, and extending to other cities over the following year.
Kentucky governor Andy Beshear said: “Our doctors and scientists are going to take research and innovation to a new level.
“And we are going to build one of — if not the — largest pediatric health campuses in the country, creating 1,000 jobs for this hospital. That makes this the largest jobs announcement in Kentucky this year.”
While the date for the commencement of the construction is yet to be determined, it will be announced following the conclusion of the community input series.
Further details about the complete campus plan will be disclosed after these consultations.
In June 2023, the clinic at Norton Children’s Hospital received certification from Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy as a Paediatric Certified Duchenne Care Center.
