Description

Health Kentucky was at the forefront of helping Kentucky's indigent gain access to health care when it began its mission in 1984 as a private nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Health Kentucky has formed partnerships with state trade and professional associations, volunteer health care providers, the Cabinet for Health Services, and the Cabinet for Families and Children. More than 250,000 individuals have been served since the organization's inception. The volunteer health care providers and eight pharmaceutical companies provide free health care and medications to eligible patients through programs sponsored by their respective state trade and professional associations. Patient eligibility is determined on an annual basis by each county's Department for Community Based Services. The Cabinet for Health Services staffs a toll-free hot line, which provides patients with referrals to participating health care providers. Health Kentucky promotes its services through various outreach activities, manages the volunteer health-care network and administers the programs.
