Roddy D. McDowell, M.D., and Delwyn E. McOmber, M.D., are making their Pediatric HeartCare Partners practice a part of Norton Children’s Heart Institute, affiliated with the UofL School of Medicine.
In addition to adding two skilled pediatric cardiologists to the Norton Children’s heart team, Pediatric HeartCare Partners will add five Southern Indiana locations and three Louisville offices, improving access for patients and families.
Drs. McDowell and McOmber will continue to see patients in the same areas they always have, and patients will have additional access to care in locations throughout Kentucky and Southern Indiana.
Dr. McOmber also will serve as medical director of the Norton Children’s Medical Group pediatric exercise lab and University of Louisville Department of Pediatrics.
Dr. McOmber has 18 years of experience as a pediatric cardiologist in Louisville and a passion for exercise testing. Dr. McOmber will take a different approach to helping children with congenital heart anomalies. Rather than focusing on what patients “can’t do,” he’ll be guiding patients toward what they “can do” by using exercise testing to allow patients to expand their activity safely.

“We truly believe the expertise and resources of Norton Children’s Heart Institute will enable us to have a singular focus on patient well-being,” Drs. McDowell and McOmber said in a letter to patients’ families.
Patients and their families will have access to MyNortonChart, a free and secure electronic medical records system that offers many conveniences.
“Drs. McDowell and McOmber already work closely with the Norton Children’s Heart Institute team. A closer affiliation with Pediatric HeartCare Partners adds to our experience and expertise taking care of patients across Kentucky and Southern Indiana,” said Brian J. Holland, M.D., chief of pediatric cardiology at Norton Children’s Heart Institute.
