Welcome to our new Main Entrance!

The new medical center Main Entrance opened to the public Monday, May 12, !

We celebrated the Grand Opening on May 8-10, welcoming state and local political leaders, officials from the University of Kentucky, members of our board and Medical Staff, business leaders and team members to see the new area.

This modern, welcoming Main Entrance serves as the 24-hour entryway to the Medical Center and Medical Plaza A and B. It's designed with your comfort, convenience, and care in mind.

Easier Access, Better Experience

Located at the heart of our campus, 613 23rd Street, Ashland, the Main Entrance offers:

• Valet parking
• Direct access to Medical Plazas A and B
• Friendly Welcome & Information and Patient Registration teams ready to guide and assist you.

In partnership with the City of Ashland, Central Avenue (between 22nd and 25th Streets) is now a two-way street, improving traffic flow and making entry simpler for patients, visitors, and emergency vehicles.
