About Us Infectious Diseases

Committed to excellence in patient care

The Bluegrass Care Clinic is an ambulatory clinic of UK Healthcare that was established in 1990, which has provided a continuum of HIV primary care from diagnosis to end of life to over 2000 persons from central and eastern Kentucky. A team of physicians, recognized for their treatment of HIV disease and board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine with subspecialty certification in infectious diseases, staffs the Bluegrass Care Clinic. In addition to providing patient care, these physicians are actively engaged in HIV teaching, training, and research and serve as co-investigators for all University of Kentucky HIV clinical trials. Physicians are aided by nurses, pharmacists, and other clinicians to deal with the complex management of infectious diseases. The Bluegrass Care Clinic serves as one of four federally funded Ryan White HIV/AIDS Clinics within the state of Kentucky. The Bluegrass Care Clinic's mission is to provide a continuum of high quality, state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary HIV primary care in a compassionate, culturally sensitive manner. Our goal is to achieve 100-percent access to HIV primary care with zero-percent socioeconomic disparity in health outcomes.

Our faculty also maintain the highest of educational standards by holding and participating in medical student lectures, education conferences/forums, the infectious diseases fellowship program, and Kentucky AIDS Education and Training Center (KY AETC).
