JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. — Norton Healthcare is set to open a new upgraded medical center in southern Indiana next month.
Additional emergency and diagnostic services will be available at the Norton Medical Center on March 4. The facility is located in the Jeffersonville Commons shopping center on Mercy Way.
The center currently houses a primary care office which has occupational medicine services for employers, officials said.
Norton Healthcare has invested $17 million in the east Jeffersonville expansion.
"The ability to access care close to home is especially important when emergency services are needed," Russell Cox, president and CEO of Norton Healthcare, said.

The diagnostics center will include X-ray, CT, ultrasound, screening 3D mammography and MRI capabilities. Diagnostics will be open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Norton said patients can schedule an outpatient diagnostic imaging appointment by calling 812-283-2405.
An outpatient behavioral health office is also planned to open at the medical center which will include individual and group therapy services.
