Norton Healthcare President and CEO Russell Cox says the company has 152 acres to develop in Jeffersontown, and this gives the company the opportunity to expand access to care with the construction of a second dedicated pediatric care campus.
“This is a growth opportunity for us to build a campus that is regional in its reach, but hopefully best in the country,” Cox said. “We’re very excited about the opportunity to redefine how pediatric care is delivered for future generations, especially.”
As Norton Healthcare looks at what’s the best way to expand access to care, they are asking for community input. The company will host a listening session on Thursday, November 6 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at G.C. Burkhead Elementary School in Elizabethtown.
Cox says Norton wants to hear from a wide range of community members, from current parents and grandparents to future generations that may be parents by the time the facility opens.
“We’re extending it a little bit further than most ever have, because we’re not just talking about the services clinically for the pediatric patient, but we’re also talking about those support services for mom, dad, for family, for other people who provide care in the home for these pediatric patients, because we know that they are a significant part of the support mechanism that helps the healing process,” Cox said.
The listening session will be an opportunity to learn more about the plans for the new campus as well as for Norton to collect survey data.
“Our main reason for coming there is to have that conversation and to look people in the eyes and say, ‘how can we do better with what we’re doing in E-Town right now?’, but also, ‘how should we be thinking about this new pediatric village, if you will, that’s going to be out in J-Town?’” Cox said.
Registration is requested but not required. Learn more, and fill out the survey if you are unable to attend the listening session, at www.nortonchildrens.com/new-campus.
