Kentucky's healthcare system serves approximately 4.5 million residents and has undergone significant transformation in recent years, particularly following Medicaid expansion in 2014. The state's flagship academic medical center is the University of Kentucky Albert B. Chandler Hospital in Lexington, a Level I Trauma Center and comprehensive academic medical center. In Louisville, Norton Healthcare, Baptist Health Louisville, and UofL Health (affiliated with the University of Louisville School of Medicine) are the dominant health systems.
Kentucky faces some of the most significant health challenges in the nation, including the highest rates of cancer incidence and mortality, elevated rates of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, and a severe opioid epidemic. The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) (chfs.ky.gov) oversees Medicaid (called Kentucky Medicaid), public health programs, and behavioral health services.
Kentucky expanded Medicaid in 2014, and the program — now branded as Kentucky HEALTH — covers over 1.5 million residents, one of the highest Medicaid enrollment rates per capita in the nation. The Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure (kbml.ky.gov) licenses physicians and provides online verification.
