Norton Clark Hospital expands technology, services and specialty care in Southern Indiana. Technology upgrades and new specialty providers give Southern Indiana patients more access to high-quality, convenient care close to home. Published: June 10, 2026 Norton Clark Hospital is strengthening its commitment to provide high-quality, convenient care close to home for families throughout Southern Indiana. With major technology upgrades, new specialty providers and expanded locations, patients now have more access than ever to the Norton Healthcare network. Emergency care that's growing with the community. The Emergency Department at Norton Medical Center, located in Jeffersonville Commons at 2023 Mercy Drive in Jeffersonville, has experienced significant growth over the past year. Patients are choosing this location for its access to emergency providers, short wait times and convenient parking. The department treats adults and children and offers seamless access to specialized services available from Norton Healthcare and Norton Children's. The on-site diagnostic center offers advanced imaging, including 3D mammography, CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound and DEXA scanning. The center allows patients to receive comprehensive testing and care in one convenient location. New Sellersburg locations expand access to care. Orthopedic care. Norton Orthopedic Institute has opened a new office at 130 Hunter Station Way in Sellersburg. Orthopedic and sports health specialists diagnose, treat and manage a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, age-related issues, injuries and athletic concerns. Ultrasound-guided injections are available, and many patients can see a specialist the same day. Two urgent care options opening soon. A Norton Immediate Care Center and Norton Prompt Care clinic will open later this year on the first floor of the Hunter Station Way facility. Designed to treat minor illnesses and injuries, the offices will offer walk-in convenience or the option to reserve a spot through the MyChart app. Advanced technology enhances patient care. New cardiac CT scanner. Norton Clark Hospital has added a $2 million cardiac CT scanner - one of only a few in the region. The scanner performs fast, high-resolution imaging for the entire body and enhances the ability to detect heart disease, valve issues and congenital defects. Faster scan times and clearer images mean patients receive answers more quickly and confidently. Renovated catheterization lab. The hospital's newly renovated catheterization lab supports complex heart procedures using advanced sound-wave imaging and 3D modeling. Providers can diagnose blockages more quickly and determine the best treatment plan without sending patients far from home. Some electrophysiology and peripheral vascular interventions are completed here as well. Norton Clark Hospital is accredited as a Chest Pain Center with Primary PCI by the American College of Cardiology and is a designated STEMI Receiving Center, equipped to rapidly treat severe heart attacks. Second da Vinci robotic-assisted surgical system arriving this summer. A second Da Vinci robotic-assisted surgical system will arrive this summer, along with two additional surgeons. Hernia repair remains the most common robotic-assisted procedure, but the technology also supports gallbladder and appendix removal, gynecologic surgeries such as hysterectomy and ovary removal, and urologic procedures including kidney removal due to cancer. Robotic-assisted surgery helps enable increased precision, reduced blood loss, shorter recovery times, fewer scars and lower infection risk - driving the need for a second system. Expanded endoscopy services. Norton Clark Hospital's endoscopy team now offers endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with SpyGlass technology, allowing direct visualization and treatment of bile and pancreatic duct conditions. Minimally invasive gastrointestinal procedures, including bronchoscopy and colonoscopy, continue to be available. Level II neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

To improve access, Norton Children's, Norton Leatherman Spine launch pediatric spine program. May 11, 2026 LOUISVILLE - Norton Children's and Norton Leatherman Spine are teaming up to form Norton Children's Leatherman Spine, offering specialized spine care for kids throughout the region. Norton Children's Leatherman Spine brings together pediatric orthopedic and spine surgeons with training and experience in caring for conditions including scoliosis, congenital spine deformities and more. The practice will serve children at two Louisville locations: downtown at 210 East Gray Street and 2933 Breckenridge Lane. Establishing Norton Children's Leatherman Spine will provide families with more streamlined access to spine care. Last year, more than 3,100 children received treatment for scoliosis through Norton Leatherman Spine and Norton Children's. Scoliosis is the most common spinal deformity in kids, affecting an estimated 2% to 3% of adolescents. "Children with spine disorders deserve care from pediatric specialists who understand their unique needs and in a centralized setting," said Steven D. Glassman, M.D., orthopedic spine surgeon and medical director of Norton Leatherman Spine. "By bringing the right team together, we can offer the full range of options and guide families through every step of the process." Norton Children's Leatherman Spine offers surgical and nonsurgical options, recognizing that many spinal conditions are effectively managed without surgery. The practice name honors Kenton D. Leatherman, M.D., widely known for his groundbreaking work on repairing scoliosis. Dr. Leatherman founded the Children's Hospital Department of Orthopedics and performed the first scoliosis surgery in Kentucky in the 1950s. He later pioneered the use of several technological advances in the United States aimed at treating patients with spinal deformities. He also established the region's first scoliosis clinic, which grew into today's Norton Leatherman Spine, home to one of the most acclaimed spine programs in the country. Norton Children's Leatherman Spine opened in May. More information at NortonChildrensSpine.com
