Our Beneficiary

Proud to continue our 20 years of support to University of Kentucky Children’s Hospital.

It was a privilege to have the University of Kentucky Children’s Hospital Transport team at our event again. This time we asked them to explain what makes them so special and the relationship with Keeneland Concours d’Elegance.

University of Kentucky Children’s Hospital has Eastern and Central Kentucky’s only Level I pediatric trauma center, Level IV newborn (neonatal) intensive care unit and pediatric intensive care unit. You’ll also find more than 30 advanced sub-specialty programs, such as pediatric oncology and pediatric surgery. That means when your child needs the highest level of advanced specialty care, it’s available right here, close to home.

The pediatric doctors, nurses, surgeons and healthcare specialists at Kentucky Children’s Hospital are among Kentucky’s best. They’re people who’ve made caring for children their life’s work. Their skills and experience make them a valuable part of caring for Kentucky’s kids. At University of Kentucky Children’s Hospital, you’ll find family-centered care. Kids aren’t the only people they care for; they care for families too. They are here to help you choose a doctor and find the health care resources you want and need for your child and family.
