Around-the-Clock Emergency Care Opens on Centennial Avenue
Radcliff, KY · September 17, 2026
Finding shade is priority one as afternoon temperatures climb toward ninety-three. If you are running errands along Centennial Avenue today, you'll notice the new emergency care doors are officially open.
The Lead
Patients needing urgent or emergency treatment no longer have to guess which waiting room to choose or face a drive down Dixie Highway. Baptist Health Hardin has opened its new 24,000-square-foot combined emergency and urgent care center at 2763 Centennial Avenue. The two-story facility brings around-the-clock emergency medicine directly to northern Hardin County, paired with urgent care services available daily from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
Instead of forcing patients to make a costly billing decision at the door, board-certified emergency physicians examine arrivals and determine the appropriate level of care on site. The campus includes full 24/7 imaging with CT, ultrasound, and X-ray capabilities, an on-site laboratory, and a dedicated ambulance staging bay designed to ease congestion at regional hospitals. Upstairs, a full-service primary care clinic will welcome its first appointments later this autumn.
