Kentucky Children’s Hospital Affiliate Network

The Kentucky Children’s Hospital Affiliate Network helps ensure that kids across Kentucky have access to high-quality pediatric care, no matter where they live. We partner with community hospitals across the state to ensure that families have access to the expert pediatric care they need close to home.

We offer support to our affiliate hospitals in all areas of pediatrics, with a heavy focus on neonatology and pediatric hospital medicine.

Our affiliates receive:

  • Education from our pediatric experts
  • Hands-on training to improve care
  • Review of patient transfers to assist in continuous improvement
  • Assistance with program development and support from UK HealthCare experts
  • Access to our pediatric conference

Together, we are working to ensure a better future for children in Kentucky and beyond.

How does Kentucky Children’s Hospital work with affiliate hospitals?

  • Connects member hospitals with pediatric experts at UK HealthCare
  • Develops customized training and education to meet the needs of clinical staff
  • Identifies areas of opportunity for pediatric collaboration
  • Facilitates education and training through virtual and in-person lectures, hands-on exercises and an annual conference
