Our Partners

St. Elizabeth Healthcare is one of the oldest, largest, and most respected medical providers in the Greater Cincinnati region. For more than 155 years, St. Elizabeth has been the heart and soul of health care in Northern Kentucky. During their clinical years, our students rotate through the St. Elizabeth Healthcare facilities under the instruction and leadership of outstanding St. Elizabeth physicians.

Founded with one small hospital in 1861, St. Elizabeth Healthcare now operates six facilities throughout Northern Kentucky and more than 115 primary care and specialty office locations in Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. It is sponsored by the Diocese of Covington. A mission-based organization, St. Elizabeth is committed to improving the health of the communities it serves, providing more than $100 million in uncompensated care and benefit to the community in 2016.

Today, this multi-specialty medical group organization has grown to nearly 170 practices throughout Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana — led by more than 600 providers and 2,000 associates overall. Through a decade of building, learning, sacrificing and striving to continually improve, St. Elizabeth Physicians has become one of the nation’s premier health care delivery organization, recognized with the American Medical Group Association’s Acclaim Award in 2020.

Our campus is located on the grounds of Northern Kentucky University (NKU) in Highland Heights, Ky. This unique partnership provides our medical students with access to state-of-the-art dining, wellness, and academic facilities. Additionally, our students have access to and receive instruction in the NKU simulation center.

Founded in 1968, NKU is a growing metropolitan university of more than 14,000 students served by over 2,000 faculty and staff on a thriving suburban campus near Cincinnati. Students have the opportunity to choose from nearly 100 bachelor’s degrees, 24 graduate programs, or law school. For nine years in a row, NKU has been named one of America’s Best Colleges by Forbes.

The university thrives by doing things differently. No greater opportunity exists to change and improve lives than addressing population health/challenges. It is clear that what has worked in the past does not always work in today’s increasingly complex society. In partnership with St. Elizabeth Healthcare and the UK College of Medicine, NKU is taking on the biggest, most important health challenges facing Kentucky’s communities. Together these institutions are transforming health science education to better equip, empower, and most importantly, inspire health care workers of tomorrow.
