Lt. Gov. Coleman and several of Kentucky’s female legislators joined UK HealthCare to highlight the work of the Markey Cancer Center's Ovarian Cancer Screening Program.
The initiative aims to create a connected, integrated statewide cancer provider network. 40% of all new cancer cases in Kentucky are directly or indirectly cared for by Markey.
Additionally, UK HealthCare was ranked as high-performing in four U.S. News adult specialties: Gastroenterology & GI Surgery, Geriatrics, Orthopedics and Urology.
The consortium is expected to generate infrastructure and strengthen global cancer research leadership and mentorship at the participating institutions.
The new complex — with an estimated 320,000 square feet for cancer services — may include multiple buildings but will primarily allow for the needed expansion of patient care services and increased ease of access for the UK Markey Cancer Center.
