LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A Hardin County hospital just expanded, adding some vital services for the area.
Tuesday, leaders with Baptist Health Hardin cut the ribbon on the hospital's $225.6 million medical pavilion, making this the largest expansion in the hospital's 100-year history.
The new 282,000-square-foot pavilion, located at 200 Cardinal Drive in Elizabethtown, includes a cancer center, surgical suites and a hybrid operating room, cardiology services, wound care and more.
