Baptist Health Hardin held a ribbon cutting Tuesday, Oct. 29 at the Baptist Health Hardin Medical Pavilion, a new $225.6 million medical facility that marks the largest expansion in the hospital’s history.
The new 282,000-square-foot pavilion, located at 200 Cardinal Drive in Elizabethtown, includes a cancer center, twelve new surgical suites including a hybrid operating room, three new cardiac cath labs, multidisciplinary outpatient clinics, and more. It was designed to allow patients to manage multiple health care needs in one location.
“The new Baptist Health Hardin Medical Pavilion demonstrates Baptist Health Hardin’s vision for the expanding communities in central Kentucky,” hospital President Robert Ramey said in a news release. “It reflects our commitment to provide excellent care and advanced technology, while offering the convenience of multidisciplinary care in one location, combined with features designed to enhance the patient experience. We are eager to build and be part of a brighter future for Hardin County and all our neighboring counties – and the new pavilion is just the beginning of much more to come.”
The new pavilion is opening in phases starting on Nov. 4 when the cancer center opens. Next week, general surgery and urology, outpatient lab, pre-admission testing, X-ray, and retail pharmacy will open.
According to the release, “Baptist Health Hardin is a 300-bed acute care hospital which serves 400,000 residents in a ten-county region of central Kentucky. The new facility will help Baptist Health Hardin meet the needs of a region that has shown significant population growth in recent years which is expected to continue.”
