Stories and people who have made a difference at Norton Healthcare

Published: September 25, 2017 | Updated: March 10, 2023

During the past year, Norton Healthcare experienced many changes — a change in leadership, a change to the name of our children’s hospital and changes to many of our campuses. Health care also can change the lives of our patients. It’s in those moments when Norton Healthcare is at our best providing remarkable patient care and service.

These highlights are annotated in our annual Report to Our Community. See some of the stories that shaped our year, including:

• Tim Wait, an avid CrossFitter, powered back from a shoulder injury to regain full use and return to top form. See his incredible comeback.
• Chris Pryor thought he was healthy until a checkup revealed he needed quintuple bypass surgery. Hear how a nagging cough changed his outlook on health.
