Norton Healthcare

Norton Healthcare is a not-for-profit health care system headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. Its origins trace to 1886 and the opening of the John N. Norton Memorial Infirmary, and it has since grown to more than 14,500 employees serving roughly two million patient encounters a year. The system covers Greater Louisville, Southern Indiana and nearby Kentucky communities.

Care is delivered across a broad range of settings: hospitals, outpatient services, primary and specialty care, immediate and prompt care, pharmacies, home health and rehabilitation. Specialty service lines include cancer care, heart and vascular care, neuroscience, orthopedics, women's care and pediatric medicine, the latter provided through Norton Children's across Kentucky and Southern Indiana. Technical and operational domains within the system span telehealth, electronic health records and patient portal technology, clinical research and clinical trials, pharmacy services, and home health and rehabilitation.

Two digital services extend access beyond the facility: Norton MyChart, a patient portal connecting patients with providers and care locations, and Norton eCare, a virtual care service for remote access to care. The stated emphasis is on making care easier to navigate and more responsive to patients' needs, connecting people with the appropriate provider or location.

As a not-for-profit organisation, Norton Healthcare reports a mission orientation rooted in its faith heritage, alongside investment in community outreach, health education and local partnerships across the region.
