Kentucky Children's Hospital Triad Leadership

Kentucky Children’s Hospital is where kids from across the state come for better health and a better future.

We offer world-class care, including advanced subspecialty care, to any child who needs us. Families can stay right here in Kentucky to receive the best treatments – we have expanded our outreach clinics and telehealth opportunities to reach patients in all corners of the Commonwealth.

Our children’s hospital has experienced sustained rapid growth in recent years, which has led us to launch our triad leadership team – made up of a physician, nurse and administrator – to manage this growth closely and tackle the associated challenges.

This team works together to guide Kentucky Children’s Hospital into the future, with the ultimate goal of helping kids be kids again.
