UK Kentucky Children’s Hospital Richmond Road will begin welcoming patients today, October 16, 2023.
The facility officially opened last week with a ribbon cutting, celebrating the new home of four pediatric specialty clinics. This facility will offer a continuum of care to infants, children and adolescents with complex medical and behavioral needs.
The four clinics include:
- Complex Care Clinic, which provides medical and developmental follow-up care for infants and young children up to age 5 with medical complexity.
- Developmental Pediatrics Clinic, which offers screening, diagnostic and therapeutic services for children with complex developmental-behavioral conditions such as autism.
- NICU Graduate Clinic, a clinical site for babies and young children with special medical needs. The clinic not only serves babies who were cared for in the KCH Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) but also children born prematurely who are at risk for developmental problems.
- Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Clinic, where patients over the age of 5 with complex care needs can go to improve their functional abilities and strength.
The 25,000 square-foot, newly renovated facility, housed in the former Shriners Hospital location, is a shared space with Easterseals Bluegrass.
