UK HealthCare is uniquely qualified to provide care for patients that need access to the most advanced subspecialty care – the kind of complex care only major academic medical centers such as ours can provide. From our Level-1 pediatric and adult trauma centers to our new state-of-the-art neonatal intensive care unit as well as our National Cancer Institute-designated Markey Cancer Center, our physicians, nurses and health care providers are trained in the most sophisticated 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.
