The University of Kentucky Board of Trustees has given its approval to a significant expansion of UK Healthcare. It could mean growing its skilled workforce by almost 4800 people over the next several years.
UK HealthCare will begin planning design work for building projects that could total $2.4 billion. Projects are designed to expand access to advanced subspecialty care on the Lexington campus. They will also provide more primary and specialty care to UK employees and for medically underserved areas.
