The University of Kentucky Albert B. Chandler Hospital, a 569-bed acute care facility that opened in 1962, is part of the UK HealthCare patient care company. UK Chandler Hospital is the sole Level I trauma center in Central and Eastern Kentucky, and it treats the most serious injuries. It is home to the area’s sole Level IV neonatal intensive care unit, which treats the sickest newborns.Â
There are also 100 intensive care beds, a post-anesthesia care facility, 17 surgical rooms, a 14-bed labor and delivery unit, and 26 mother-baby rooms available at the hospital. Medicine, Nursing, Health Sciences, Dentistry, Pharmacy, and Public Health are among the colleges that contribute to the hospital’s resources.
The University of Kentucky’s hospitals and clinics are known as UK HealthCare. But it’s so much more than that. It takes 9,000 people – doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals – to provide the most advanced, effective treatment available, not just in Kentucky, but everywhere.Â
Physicians and other medical personnel are trained in the most advanced, up-to-date medical practices so that no Kentuckian, no matter how sick or rare their ailment, needs to travel far from home to receive the care they require.
It’s a Level 1 trauma center that’s available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to handle even the most catastrophic injuries that come through the door. And a Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, which looks after the tiniest and sickest babies, providing them a chance to live normal, productive, and joyful lives.
 Nurses provide excellent care for every patient, every time, and the facility has been awarded Magnet status, the greatest honor in the nursing sector.
Educators at our six health professions colleges are instilling the highest standards of care in the next generation of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers, spreading them like ripples into the future.
It is researchers who are working to find treatments and cures that have yet to be envisaged. It’s also a state-wide network of collaborations and outreach locations, ensuring that world-class care is always close at hand.
The strength of advanced medicine is embodied in UK HealthCare. And you have access to all of that power. The key to the future of medicine is to solve unsolvable research. Every day, our researchers at UK HealthCare endeavor to find solutions where none previously existed.
 Our physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals are always exploring the next generation of cures, treatments, protocols, and policies as an academic research institution. Within our lifetimes, their findings have the potential to transform what is medically feasible. At the same time, our health policy and delivery educators and thought leaders are reshaping Kentucky’s healthcare landscape to provide the appropriate care in the right place for everyone in the state.
The National Cancer Institute has designated the UK Markey Cancer Center as one of the most distinguished cancer centers in the world. As a result, we have access to innovative therapies that aren’t yet widely available, as well as clinical trials that most other institutions don’t.
