Baptist Health Hardin CEO Provides Updates During Chamber Luncheon

The Hardin County Chamber of Commerce held its monthly luncheon on Wednesday. The keynote speaker at the event was President and CEO of Baptist Health Hardin, Rob Ramey, who provided an overview of the changes that are taking place right now. “I’ve been in Elizabethtown at Baptist Health Hardin for just over two and a half months now. I am excited and looking forward to the future. We’ve got so many neat projects going on right now. We’ve added new technologies, we’ve brought in some new providers as well, just in that short time frame. And we’ve got the large construction project going on behind the hospital. It’s almost $250 million in investment into the medical facilities so that we can continue to advance the care right here,” said Ramey who also gave an update on construction and information about some of the new technology coming. “We are looking to open the new medical pavilion in late 2024. We’ve had the opportunity to continue to plan for the services that are going to go into that facility. We’ve got new operating rooms and cath labs as well as just a new cancer center. Valet services for the patients arriving. So we’re so excited about it. We just have to get through the next eighteen months or so. And we can’t wait to make it a reality for our community.” During the expo portion of the event, dozens of health and human services groups set up to share information about the services they provide the community.
