The pediatric heart specialists at Norton Children’s Heart Institute, affiliated with the UofL School of Medicine, in Paducah, Kentucky, work in collaboration with your local pediatrician and other health care providers.

Our specialists see patients at the same locations so you can schedule appointments with the same provider at each visit. Your child and your child’s condition are special. So should be their bond with their cardiologist.

Because kids with heart conditions can grow up to be healthy and active adults, Norton Children’s Heart Institute’s accredited Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program physicians see patients at the Paducah location as well.
