Programs/Centers/Facilities:
- Primary Care Adult Medicine
- Executive Health Program
- Internal Medicine and Pediatric Program
The Executive Health Program - through the Division of General Internal Medicine - provides yearly physical exams, health care assessments and disease risk factor determinations for companies. Generally, the program tailors these exams to suit each company through a contractual agreement. Program coordinators design and schedule appropriate exams for completion in a single morning, thus minimizing the busy employee’s time away from the office. However, colonoscopies (and occasionally mammograms) have to be scheduled on a separate day due to logistics, sedation for the colonoscopy, etc. A detailed follow up letter is written to the employee describing the exam findings, test results and recommendations for health fitness
Hospitalist Program - If a patient needs to stay at UK Hospital for the specialized care that only UK Physicians can provide, our hospitalist will work to coordinate the best, most advanced care possible for that patient. Each patient is different and requires special care. The hospitalist will work with the patient’s doctor and the specialists at UK Hospital to make sure that the patient receives the care that is right for him or her. Available at all times, our hospitalists work to ensure that each patient receives compassionate treatment sensitive to his or her needs and beliefs. This level of care does not stop at the hospital lobby; we continue to work with the patient’s doctor to ensure that all the equipment, professional assistance, and education needed post-discharge is readily available.
