As part of the Lucille Caudill Little Performing Arts in HealthCare Program, the Teresa Garbulinska Annual Premier Concert Series was founded with a grant from Dr. Ronald Saykaly and Mrs. Teresa Garbulinska.

"The arts enhance the healing environment, but they also invite people to visit the hospital when they are well. If patients and families are familiar with the hospital, they will feel more comfortable in a time of need.”
– Michael Karpf, MD, executive vice president for health affairs, UK HealthCare
As a member of the Society for Arts and Healthcare, UK HealthCare has built on the findings and successes of other art programs across the country to create an art program at the forefront of this movement.
