Mission
Norton Healthcare's purpose is to provide quality health care to all those we serve, in a manner that responds to the needs of our communities and honors our faith heritage.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Norton Healthcare Inc. is a not-for-profit corporation serving adult and pediatric patients from throughout Greater Louisville, Southern Indiana, the commonwealth of Kentucky and beyond. The not-for-profit hospital and health care system has six Louisville-based hospitals and three hospitals in Southern Indiana. Norton Healthcare expanded services in 2024 with the addition of Norton West Louisville Hospital. This new hospital adds to the recent additions of Norton King's Daughters Health in 2022 and Norton Clark Hospital and Norton Scott Hospital in 2023. Norton West Louisville Hospital opened in November 2024. The hospital offers comprehensive services, including adult and pediatric primary care physician offices, emergency department services, inpatient services and outpatient functions. Imaging services, including X-rays and CT scans, are available, along with specialty services such as women's health, cardiology, neurology and endocrinology. Some physician offices offer evening hours as well. (Continued on Schedule O)

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $1.9B to $2.7B (+40%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
1% of Norton Healthcare Inc’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (1% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income fell $305k → $126k.
2 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 5% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $25M from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Norton Healthcare Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money Norton Healthcare Inc raised.
From the IRS filings of Norton Healthcare Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 14 of 15 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Norton Healthcare Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 38% of grant income and the top three 68%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
34% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Norton Healthcare Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 95% · 2019 100% · 2020 47% · 2021 69% · 2022 90% · 2023 59% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
40% of Norton Healthcare Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 33% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
Norton Healthcare Inc draws 89% of its grant income from funders outside Kentucky, across 8 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $96k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

Norton Healthcare Inc holds deeper cash reserves than three-quarters of the 2,075 health nonprofits its size.
