UK HealthCare's Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB-GYN) specialty ranked No. 28 in the nation in the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings. This marks the third consecutive year our program has been recognized as a top national specialty, reflecting the continued dedication of our faculty, staff, and care teams to excellence in women's health.
The Joint Commission's Maternal Levels of Care (MLC) Verification program, offered in collaboration with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), named UK HealthCare as a Level IV maternal care verified facility. As a Level IV facility, UK HealthCare provides expert and compassionate care for critically ill and high-risk maternity patients. The MLC Verification program provides an objective assessment of a facility's capabilities, and verifies that a hospital has the expertise, equipment, and resources in place for a patient's specific needs and risk level. As a top hospital in Kentucky, UK HealthCare provides the highest level of maternity care and receives patients from other hospitals who have high-risk pregnancies or experience complications during labor. UK HealthCare underwent a comprehensive onsite review in early 2025 to verify the level of care provided.
Each year, providers in the department care for thousands of patients across several clinical sites around the state.

Additionally, 22 new sites are in the planning stages, with some current locations adding more clinic days to better serve patients. The department trains 28 residents and fellows across ACGME accredited programs, while also contributing to the education of medical students and graduate trainees.
Faculty secure over $75 million in grant funding annually to pursue cutting-edge research and discoveries. Our research division offers a dynamic and collaborative environment spanning three key areas of women's health: reproductive endocrinology and infertility, gynecologic oncology, and maternal fetal medicine. Our research team explores critical questions in ovarian function, hormone regulation, inflammation, and the impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals. We also lead epidemiologic investigations into the health effects of intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and related adverse outcomes-bridging science with real-world health challenges. With longstanding support from federal agencies such as the NIH and CDC, and a strong record of publication in leading medical and scientific journals, our work reflects a commitment to high-impact, translational research.
Lexington is an understated and sophisticated city in the southeast. Situated in the heart of the Bluegrass and rightfully called the "Horse Capital of the World," Lexington is surrounded by picturesque landscapes and horse farms. The University of Kentucky is central to the city and plays a major role in commerce and culture. As an SEC school, the university boasts one of the most unique and competitive collegiate sports teams in the nation. Lexington combines safe neighborhoods, excellent schools, an affordable cost of living, and a vibrant community that appeals to individuals, couples, and families.
