Kentucky Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman joined local officials and leadership from HealthTrackRx, a premier infectious disease laboratory, as the company cut the ribbon on its new operation in Louisville, a $45.5 million project creating 230 full-time jobs.
“Making sure Kentuckians from every corner of the state have access to quality health care services is one of our top priorities and it’s critical to the commonwealth’s continued growth,” said Gov. Andy Beshear. “Companies like HealthTrackRx are continuing to choose Kentucky to locate and grow, providing quality services and well-paying jobs. I want to thank the company’s leadership for believing in the commonwealth and congratulate them on this major milestone.”
“I am incredibly excited to celebrate this exciting next step for HealthTrackRx and the Louisville community,” said Lt. Gov. Coleman. “We have the workforce, resources and thriving business economy HealthTrackRx needs to be able to provide innovative solutions to health care issues we face across the state. Today’s event, and the company’s commitment to the commonwealth, is an incredible example of what happens when we work together as Team Kentucky.”
The new operation, located at 2425 Universal Way, is the company’s largest and most advanced laboratory, supporting the rapid growth and demand company leaders anticipate in the molecular diagnostics space. The facility not only houses some of the most sophisticated equipment in the industry, it also allows the company to employ a highly skilled workforce in the expanding biotech sector. The jobs created are offering above-average wages and fostering a skilled labor pool of Kentucky workers that aligns with the growing needs of the biotech and health care industries.

This investment brings over 230 good-paying jobs to our community, strengthens our growing life sciences sector and affirms Louisville’s position as a national hub for healthcare innovation. We’re excited to partner with companies like HealthTrackRx that share our vision for a safer, stronger and healthier Louisville.”
