Career Opportunity:
Spanish-Speaking General Cardiology (Louisville, Kentucky)

Norton Heart & Vascular Institute, a part of Norton Healthcare located in Louisville, Kentucky, is seeking a board-certified or board-eligible general cardiologist to join its growing group of providers, which consists of 50 board-certified cardiovascular physicians, more than 43 advanced practice providers and 200 support staff. Norton Heart & Vascular Institute is a progressive group of practices that maintains more than 57% of the total cardiovascular market share, more than any other health care provider in our service area. It offers comprehensive cardiovascular care, including specialized programs for electrophysiology, structural heart disease, advanced cardiac imaging, cardio-obstetrics and advanced heart failure, including mechanical circulatory support and cardiac rehabilitation.

Thanks to an endowment investment of up to $88 million from the Rounsavall Family Foundation, Norton Heart & Vascular Institute’s new multidisciplinary clinic space opened in October 2023 on the Norton Audubon Hospital campus as one of 29 locations across Kentucky and Southern Indiana. The investment also includes upgrading and expanding all catheterization labs across the Norton Healthcare system, as well as computed tomography (CT) machines for advanced imaging.


"This institute is a subspecialty-based model made up of high-functioning providers who are collegial and diverse. Backed by a well-established cardiovascular service line structure that has access to up-to-date technology and facilities, we pride ourselves in providing a high level of service and quality of patient care that make our institute a great place for a provider to practice and grow."
