“Rykar was fighting for her life, and Dr. Austin reassured us with his fight for her life,” Kara said. “We could see and feel the fight by her entire team. During our five-month stay, staff had become like family. I was there every moment of day; the team at Norton Children’s Heart Institute went beyond taking superior care of my little girl—they were taking care of mom too.”

“My first experience with this amazing place occurred when my daughter spent three days at Norton Children’s Hospital, where we received such wonderful care. As a new mom, it was really scary, but the caregivers showed extraordinary compassion for all of us as a family and quickly got her on the mend. It was then that I realized how important an asset this is to our community. My family has been a proud supporter ever since.”

“We understand the incredible impact Norton Healthcare has on the commonwealth of Kentucky, and it has been an honor to be a part of that mission. When my wife was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, we knew Norton Neuroscience Institute and the Resource Center were the best possible places for her, and we are forever grateful for the care and treatment she has received. Investing in research and treatment for others in that difficult situation is very important to us.”
