The COPN record, sorted
Every Kentucky CON application since January 2016, one row per CON number, with the review type, the decision and its date, and a link to the Cabinet's own scan of the final order. Contested files show the hearing officer, the hearing case number and the affected parties that asked for a hearing.
One $500 founding subscription covers Kentucky, Virginia and every state added during your year. Nothing is due until the first file in January 2027.
Denied on summary judgment
Freestanding emergency department, Deaconess Emergency Care Center - Owensboro
The competing hospital won summary judgment without a full hearing, 993 days after filing. The file names counsel on both sides.
Each row is one CON application to the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS): the applicant, the facility, the county, the capital expenditure, the review type, received and decision dates, hearing requests, the hearing officer and affected parties, later revocations, and links to the scanned application and final order. The busiest counties are Jefferson, Fayette, Warren, McCracken.
928 CON numbers: every application on the Cabinet's CON Online system received from January 2016 through October 28, 2026, plus applications received in 2015 and decided from 2016 on. Each row reads the scanned final order where one is posted: the ordering paragraph, criteria findings, conditions, counsel and court appeals. Each row links its CON Online record, the scanned application, the decision letter and final order where one is posted, and the monthly CON Newsletter issues that noticed it, read from the Cabinet's site for 2026 and from Internet Archive copies for most months of 2015 to 2025. Newsletter issues from July 2021 to December 2022 and a few other months are missing everywhere.
