THE OPPORTUNITY IS HERE

Goodwill Industries of Kentucky now calls West Louisville home!

By joining its partners to invest more than $100 million in the Norton Healthcare Goodwill Opportunity Campus in the Parkland neighborhood, the 100-year-old nonprofit organization has become a vital part of a community that has endured years of disinvestment. It cut the ribbon on its Opportunity Center on the Campus on March 20, 2024. 

The combination of programs and services that operate in Goodwill’s 125,000 square-foot lifestyle enrichment facility and Norton Healthcare’s 40,000 – 60,000 square-foot comprehensive medical center are launching a new era of hope for many of the 65,000 people who call West Louisville home.

The Home of Something Great

The West Louisville Opportunity Center on the Norton Healthcare Goodwill Opportunity Campus hosts an unprecedented collection of lifestyle enrichment services in the heart of one of Kentucky’s most underserved communities. It will help thousands of individuals overcome employment barriers like addiction histories, criminal backgrounds, lack of education, transportation challenges, mental and physical disabilities and homelessness.

Residents in the area are now able to visit the Opportunity Center to utilize other useful amenities that include a cafe, technology lab, conference rooms and a full-scale resource center – all of which are in short supply in the nine neighborhoods that make up West Louisville.

BUILDING THE MISSION

Building the Opportunity Campus in West Louisville is an extension of Goodwill Industries of Kentucky’s mission to help people with significant challenges improve their lives by empowering them to work.

The campus will serve thousands of people every year as a one-stop location for a complement of life-enhancing services. It will offer health, social, financial, career and other important services from a collection of well-established organizations that will be co-located together under one roof in West Louisville.
