About Philanthropy

Every year, UK HealthCare and the UK College of Medicine impact tens of thousands of lives through the nurses, doctors and staff involved in patient care and through the tireless work of researchers and educators. Together, we are making a healthier Kentucky.

By giving to UK HealthCare and the College of Medicine, you can help us continue this vital work and achieve our goals, which include:

  • Increasing our capacity to meet the unique health care needs of all our patients
  • Providing much-needed services that enhance patients’ well-being
  • Pursuing treatments for conditions that impact our state the most
  • Teaching the next generation of physicians and scientists

We’re uncommonly able to meet the needs of this Commonwealth. Your generous support helps prove “The Power of Advanced Medicine” every day.
