T.J. Regional Health breaks ground on healthcare facility in Smiths Grove

SMITHS GROVE, Ky – T.J. Regional Health celebrated the groundbreaking of its new state-of-the-art healthcare facility on Nov. 12.

This new $10 million, 16,000 square-foot facility represents T.J. Health’s first expansion into Smiths Grove and the Warren County market, and it’s designed to redefine what accessible healthcare looks like for families and patients of all ages.

The clinic will offer primary care, specialty services, naturopathic and holistic wellness, and a unique drive-through care model – the first of its kind in Kentucky – where patients can receive essential health services such as allergy shots, strep swabs, ear checks and other routine care without leaving their vehicle.

“This new facility embodies our mission to meet patients where they are – both literally and figuratively,” said Neil Thornbury, CEO of T.J. Regional Health. “Our drive-thru model will make it easier for busy families, parents with children, and elderly patients to get quick, high-quality care in a convenient and comfortable way. We believe T.J. Health Smiths Grove will serve as a model for other healthcare facilities – not just across our state, but across the nation.”

T.J. Health is designed to serve as both a medical hub and a wellness destination, integrating traditional and holistic medicine under one roof. The building’s design emphasizes patient comfort, efficiency, and community connection.

“This groundbreaking is significant in every sense of the word,” said Stacey Biggs, executive vice president of Marketing, Planning and Development. “We’re not just breaking ground on a building – we’re breaking ground in how healthcare is delivered in Kentucky.”

The new facility is located at 592 S. Main St. in Smiths Grove.
