The Kentucky Health Collaborative (KHC) is comprised of ten (10) leading healthcare systems, representing 60+ hospitals across Kentucky as well as locations in Indiana and West Virginia. Our members include: Appalachian Regional Healthcare, Baptist Health, Ephraim McDowell Health, LifePoint Health, Med Center Health, Norton Healthcare, Owensboro Health, St. Claire HealthCare, St. Elizabeth Healthcare, and UK HealthCare. Together these organizations serve patients across the Commonwealth by providing a full complement of community, tertiary, and quaternary healthcare services in ambulatory and hospital settings. The KHC is a state-wide collaborative of leading healthcare providers and systems that serves as a model for quality, safety, access, coordination, effectiveness and efficiency of care, and the advancement of benchmark clinical services, education, and research through innovative initiatives. In its efforts to pursue these initiatives, the KHC is not an Integrated Delivery Network (IDN) nor a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO), but rather as a Strategic Regional Healthcare Organization (SRHO), aimed at producing many of the same benefits while addressing local and regional healthcare needs without financial or organizational consolidation.
