We’re building more than a hospital — we’re building a future Just for Kids

Norton Children’s is dreaming big for kids, and we want your voice at the center of what comes next.

We’re planning a new care campus and a second dedicated pediatric hospital in Jeffersontown, KY to serve children across Southern Indiana, Kentucky, and beyond. It’ll be a place where medicine, compassion, and community come together. A hospital when you need it and a village of hope when you need more.

This new campus is our promise to every child: world-class care, without barriers, for generations to come. Let’s imagine together because every child deserves a future Just for Kids.
