UK HealthCare is the hospitals and clinics of the University of Kentucky. But it is so much more. It is 10,000+ people – physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals – all dedicated to advancing health care and health in Kentucky. It is physicians and other medical professionals trained in the most sophisticated, most up-to-the-minute medical techniques so that no Kentuckian, no matter how sick they are or how rare their illness, needs to go far from home for the treatment they need. It is a Level 1 trauma center, ready every minute of every day to treat even the most serious injuries when they come through the door. And a Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, caring for the tiniest and sickest newborns – and giving them a chance not just to live, but to live normal, productive, happy lives. It is nurses providing care for every patient, every time that’s so good it has received Magnet status, the highest recognition available in the nursing field. It is educators in our six health professions colleges teaching the next generations of doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, spreading the highest standards of care like ripples to the future. It is researchers working to discover treatments and cures not yet even imagined. And it is a network of partnerships and outreach locations throughout the state, so that world-class care is always close to home.
