As soon as this summer, Norton Healthcare may become one of just 11 sites nationwide to offer a life-changing treatment for patients with chronic pancreatitis — marking a major milestone for innovation in Kentucky.

The new Norton Islet Cell Research and Transplant Program, housed within the Wendy Novak Diabetes Institute at Norton Children’s, represents more than a new lab. It represents hope.

This $2+ million lab was made possible through the generosity of Norton Children’s Hospital Foundation, including transformational support from the Lift a Life Novak Family Foundation and the James and Judith K. Dimon Foundation.

With more than 18,000 Kentuckians living with Type 1 diabetes, this investment in research and care has the potential to change lives across the Commonwealth and beyond.

“I just wanted to get back as soon as possible and Norton helped make that happen.”

Boyce College basketball player Boston never expected his season to change in an instant. During a game, an awkward landing caused his knee to give out,an injury that turned out to be a torn ACL.

Boston turned to Norton Orthopedic Institute, where he was quickly scheduled for surgery with Dr. Smith. Just two weeks after his injury, he was on the path to recovery, supported by a dedicated care team and physical therapy every step of the way.

Nine months after surgery, Boston was cleared to condition and by 10 months, he was back to full game play. Today, he’s back on the court doing what he loves. Boston’s back in the game stronger than ever. 🏀💪

Norton Heart & Vascular Institute is leading the way in heart failure care! ❤️

Last week, Norton Heart & Vascular Institute performed its first Barostim™ procedure — an innovative, FDA-approved implantable therapy for select patients with heart failure.

Barostim™ helps improve cardiovascular regulation by stimulating the body’s natural baroreceptors, which can reduce the heart’s workload and help ease symptoms like fatigue and shortness of breath. This new option expands hope for patients whose symptoms persist despite optimal treatment.

Today on World Cancer Day, we stand together with millions around the globe to raise awareness, share hope, and take action in the fight against cancer.

In the United States this year, about 2,114,850 new cancer cases are projected; nearly 5,800 diagnoses every single day. These numbers remind us of the scale of this disease and the urgent need for prevention, early detection, and equitable care.

There is progress worth celebrating: thanks to earlier detection, better treatments, and prevention efforts, the cancer death rate has dropped by about 34% since 1991, and the 5-year survival rate across all cancers has reached historic highs.

What you can do today:
➡️ Talk to your doctor about cancer screenings. Early detection saves lives.
➡️ Know your family history and your risk factors.
➡️ Make healthy lifestyle choices that can lower your risk.
➡️ Learn if you’re eligible for a cancer screening here: https://bit.ly/4bAxD7c
