Expertise for the simplest to more complex medical issues
With our vast network of community and academic physicians, we are in communities throughout western Kentucky bringing the expertise, care and compassion that is at the core of our mission to every patient we serve.

Research is the academic difference
The hallmark of an academic health system is research. New discoveries, treatments and technology are happening every day right here at UofL Health.
Not only do you have access to the latest care innovations, research and clinical trials, but your providers are directly involved in transforming the future of care and passing knowledge on to the next generation of health care professionals.
Opportunities to participate in clinical research trials
Medical research is vital to finding new and better ways to improve lives, cure diseases and manage ongoing health issues. Our patients may have the opportunity to not only benefit from the research, but to participate in our clinical trials.
As a leader in clinical research, UofL Health conducts a wide array of clinical trials, working with patient volunteers. If a patient chooses to participate in a clinical trial, they could have access to the latest drugs, treatments and technology, and play an important part in helping transform future care for patients everywhere.
