About Us

St. Claire opened its doors on July 1, 1963, as a general acute care hospital with 41 beds, nine nurses and six physicians representing three medical specialties: general practice, surgery and internal medicine.

Today, UK St. Claire is a comprehensive health care system serving Northeastern Kentucky. As part of UK HealthCare, UK St. Claire provides hospital, primary care, specialty, urgent care, pediatric, outpatient and post-acute services across the region.

UK St. Claire continues to grow through the recruitment of physicians and advanced practice providers, expansion of specialty services, and investments in technology, facilities and programs. This growth is bringing more advanced care and services closer to home.

UK St. Claire remains committed to improving access to high-quality care for the patients and families who count on us.
