Circle of Blue
In 2011, a group of female philanthropists coalesced around a common purpose—to support improvement and expansion of care for the children of Kentucky. Each Circle of Blue society member invests $2,500 annually to support Kentucky Children’s Hospital projects that enhance the experience of patients, families and visitors.
To celebrate our move into the next decade of service to Kentucky’s children, Circle of Blue members have launched a campaign to support the endowment of a Child Life Specialist for the Makenna David Pediatric Emergency Center. New members who join Circle of Blue will receive an exclusive charm and bracelet that reflect their investment in the holistic care approach we champion.
Improving the quality of a child’s experience
UK HealthCare and Kentucky Children’s Hospital impact thousands of lives each year. Circle of Blue members have invested in projects that create a supportive environment for patients and their families, including:
