The expansion builds on the facility’s neurosciences services with the addition of epilepsy monitoring units (EMUs). The expansion also includes two new neurointerventional operating rooms.
The expansion of Norton Brownsboro Hospital is complete, with 70 new patient beds — a 55% increase — advancements in stroke and aneurysm care capabilities and a larger emergency department.
The new emergency department has 42 patient care areas, including two triage rooms, 33 exam rooms and a dedicated space for performing rapid electrocardiograms (EKGs). Six fast-track bays are a fresh innovation designed for treating minor conditions, freeing exam rooms for patients with more serious conditions.
“From the beginning, we’ve taken pride in offering exceptional care and service. People took notice quickly, and we eventually found ourselves with more patients wanting to come here than we had space for,” said Regina Hymer, vice president for patient care services at Norton Brownsboro Hospital.

Strausbaugh, the hospital’s chief administrative officer. “With the addition of our two new biplane rooms, now we will be able to deliver an even more advanced level of care, using the best technology for our patients.”
