We own 40+ primary care clinics in outlying areas of Kentucky and Ohio which refer patients from a catchment area of about 750,000 people to our main campus for testing and treatment. In 2025, we completed a $150 million construction project, which gave us a new main entrance, a brand-new ER, and an all-new Imaging Department. Our Emergency Department sees more than 80,000 patients per year. We offer nearly all medical specialties at our facility, except pediatric subspecialties and transplant surgery. 

We are offering an outstanding opportunity for a board eligible/certified Family Practice physician with a Sports Medicine fellowship who will join our hospital-employed orthopedics practice.

Our Tri-State region (Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia) is renowned for safe, family-friendly communities with an excellent cost of living. We also have some of the country's finest state parks and other outdoor areas that feature golf, skiing, boating, fishing, hunting and biking. We have four seasons, all of which are relatively mild.
