Louisville, Ky.-based Women First of Louisville, an all-female physician OB-GYN practice, will join Norton Healthcare in spring 2027.
Women First offers obstetric and gynecologic care including wellness exams, pregnancy care, gynecologic surgery, menopause management, breast imaging and diagnostic testing. The practice has operated since 1988 and is based at the Baptist Health Medical Pavilion in Louisville.
The practice is one of the last remaining physician-owned OBGYN providers in the area, according to ABC affiliate WHAS. After the transition, the Women First team will move to the Norton Healthcare – St. Matthews campus, and deliveries will shift to Norton Women’s & Children’s Hospital. Patients will keep the same team of physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants, according to a Nov. 13 news release.
Joining Norton gives patients access to the system’s bone health, cardiovascular, urogynecology and gynecologic oncology services, along with high-risk pregnancy, neonatal and pediatric specialty care through the Norton Healthcare and Norton Children’s networks.
“Patients will continue to receive the personalized care they know and trust while gaining access to additional services and resources throughout Norton Healthcare,” said Brittany Frick, system vice president of women’s services at Norton Healthcare.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
