  • As part of a $20 million initiative, the birthing center will provide vital maternity care to a region that hasn't had a dedicated facility in more than 50 years.

UofL Health has opened a new birthing center in south Louisville, specifically at the UofL Health - South Hospital on Bluegrass Industrial Parkway, to address the area's high maternal mortality rate and improve access to maternal care. The center, which began accepting patients on April 15, 2024, features 12 labor, delivery, recovery, and postpartum (LDRP) rooms, two C-section operating rooms, and a special care nursery. This initiative aims to provide comprehensive care to mothers and newborns in a region identified as having significant health disparities, with the goal of reducing maternal and infant mortality rates.
