↑ 0%Mom of three learns to walk again with help from new technology. After cancerous tumors and surgery on her spine, a Kentucky mom is using a new rehabilitation machine to relearn how to walk. Kaycie Jackson, a mother of three, was told she had two tumors on her spine in 2024. She had surgery to remove them, but it left her wheelchair-bound. While Jackson is cancer-free, she's still fighting an uphill battle. "I couldn't even bathe my twins or anything like that in the beginning, because I couldn't even walk. I was in a wheelchair, had to use a Hoyer lift at home," Jackson said. "I learned to never take anything for granted because it could be snatched from me in a blink of an eye." When she began her rehabilitation journey at the University of Louisville Health's Frazier Rehab in Kentucky, she initially struggled to move her legs without assistance. Now, she is walking, side-stepping, and even throwing a ball while walking, thanks to UofL Health's Zero-G 3D Body Weight Support System. UofL Health physical therapist Lindsay Nalley said the benefits of the machine, which is the only one of its kind in Kentucky, are that it protects patients' balance while providing varying levels of support to help them gradually regain strength. "With Kaycie, we've done lots of challenges outside of the Zero-G environment. But I'm really able to get creative and find difficult ways to challenge her in that safe environment," said Nalley. Jackson said she's slowly getting her life back. She was recently able to drive her kids for the first time since surgery. Small wins like that, she said, are what push her to keep going. "I've learned to never take anything for granted because it could be snatched from me in a blink of an eye," said Jackson. The Zero-G 3D equipment at UofL Health is now available for all patients at Frazier Rehab.
UofL Health saves $1.5M monthly on anesthesia. By Zarina Othman August 31, 2026 UofL Health has cut its monthly anesthesia costs by $1.5 million after standardizing operations across 59 operating rooms in Louisville. The health system also recaptured more than 517,000 minutes of blocked OR time and handled 400 additional cases year-over-year, according to officials who spoke with Healthcare Innovation. Finding the problems. The initiative grew from frustration with inconsistent scheduling practices. Dr. Chad Mathis, chief medical officer at UofL Health-Louisville, said the system was not trusting data coming out of its electronic medical records. "There were inconsistent ways that we were measuring things at each location," he explained. Those gaps created ripple effects across staffing, utilization, and the bottom line. Separate scheduling mechanisms at different sites made it hard to move cases efficiently or predict block availability. Some surgeons held time they were not using while others struggled to find open slots. Building a new system. UofL Health partnered with LeanTaaS and deployed the iQueue platform. The health system also centralized its OR scheduling team and worked with IT partners to create a single standardized booking form. A steering committee made up of representatives from across the organization defined key parameters: prime-time utilization thresholds, turnover expectations, and block release rules. Mathis said that committee became essential for working through pushback from doctors who were protective of their scheduled time. "We made a conscious decision to decrease locums' coverage, which was an exorbitant expense between the anesthesiologists and the CRNAs," Mathis said. "Then we were able to maximize our block utilization." Once the block structure changed, staff began releasing unused time. Other surgeons could then book those slots, which helped build buy-in across the medical staff. "Once those blocks are released, people are coming back into the operating room and finding time to book their cases that they couldn't get otherwise," Mathis said. Measuring the results. Case volume grew 4 percent year-over-year, adding more than 400 cases to the schedule. Primetime utilization climbed 3 percent. The system recaptured 517,875 minutes of blocked time that would otherwise have sat empty. The biggest financial win came from anesthesia. By filling released blocks with additional cases, the health system reduced reliance on costly locum tenens coverage. That brought monthly anesthesia spending down by $1.5 million. The gains did not come without friction. Mathis said he was surprised by how long it took to convince some surgeons to release their time. The steering committee worked through those concerns over months, emphasizing transparency and data access. Advice for other health systems. Mathis recommends that leaders pursue such changes by engaging surgeons, IT staff, and vendors early. Consulting the CEO matters too. At UofL Health, Dr. Smith launched the project when he served as chief medical officer and has stayed involved as CEO. "Having that type of leadership and partnership really is key to making this work," Mathis said. The health system continues to monitor utilization and adjust block schedules based on demand. Regular conversations with surgeons about their data and ongoing steering committee governance keep the system aligned with actual surgical volume.
UofL Health completes $25 million Brown Cancer Center in Bullitt County. August 28, 2026 New facility along I-65 will expand cancer treatment, clinical trials and rural health research while creating 30 jobs. BULLITT COUNTY, Ky. - UofL Health has completed construction of a new $25 million Brown Cancer Center at South Hospital, expanding access to cancer treatment and research for patients across South, Central and Western Kentucky. The 26,440-square-foot, two-story facility, located along the growing Interstate 65 corridor in Bullitt County, is scheduled to begin seeing patients Sept. 14. The project has created 30 new jobs. The facility also will be home to the University of Louisville's new Center for Rural Cancer Education and Research, which will focus on improving cancer prevention, screening, treatment access and patient outcomes in rural Kentucky communities. "This new center is a significant step forward in bringing high-quality cancer care, research and education closer to the people who need it most," Kentucky Sen. Mike Nemes said. "For rural Kentucky families, access to innovative treatments, clinical trials and screenings closer to home can make a real difference." The new center is located directly off I-65 at Exit 121 and is designed to serve as a regional base for extending cancer services throughout Kentucky, particularly in rural areas where patients may otherwise travel significant distances for treatment. Funding support from the Kentucky General Assembly helped make possible the expansion of cancer screenings, education, research and community outreach associated with the project. Gov. Andy Beshear said the investment should allow more Kentuckians to receive cancer treatment closer to where they live. "Because of the new Brown Cancer Center at South Hospital, more Kentuckians facing cancer can get the care they need close to home," Beshear said. "Instead of spending hours in the car driving to and from appointments, they get that time back to spend with their family and friends, doing what they love." The facility includes 16 private dual-purpose infusion and examination rooms, an on-site laboratory, an oncology pharmacy and space dedicated to clinical trials and translational cancer research. A patient resource center will offer services including financial counseling and navigation, psychotherapy and social work, nutritional support, massage therapy, art therapy, wigs and scarves. The center also includes 10 private research offices, video conferencing spaces, a flexible meeting room for support groups and community programs and a patient lounge. The University of Louisville's Center for Rural Cancer Education and Research will use the new location to study cancer outcomes, screening and access to care. Researchers also plan cancer epidemiology studies aimed at better understanding why Kentucky continues to experience some of the nation's highest cancer rates. "With the opening of the $25 million Brown Cancer Center at South Hospital, the University of Louisville and UofL Health aim to take on Kentucky's standing as the state with the highest cancer death rate and provide better access to care for residents of rural communities," UofL President Gerry Bradley said. Kentucky's cancer mortality rate is 175.6 deaths per 100,000 people, according to information provided by UofL Health. More than 10,000 Kentuckians die from cancer annually, while cancer-related health care costs in the state total an estimated $2.74 billion each year. Productivity losses associated with illness and premature deaths add another estimated $3.1 billion annually. Jason Chesney, M.D., Ph.D., director and chief administrative officer of the Brown Cancer Center, said the organization has established a goal of reducing Kentucky's cancer death rate by 50% by 2035. "Our new rural cancer center brings cutting-edge cancer care and lifesaving clinical trials closer to more Kentuckians," Chesney said. The Bullitt County facility becomes the fourth Brown Cancer Center location in Kentucky. In 2023, Brown Cancer Center oncologists treated patients from nearly every Kentucky county, including more than 15,000 outpatient encounters involving patients from South, Central and Western Kentucky. The new location will use a multidisciplinary model involving surgical, medical and radiation oncologists, nurse navigators and other specialists to develop individualized treatment plans. "Today, UofL Health delivers on its commitment to bring the best in cancer care closer to more Kentuckians," UofL Health CEO Jason Smith, M.D., Ph.D., said. "It's a state-of-the-art building, but even more impressive is the Brown Cancer Center team, all working together to ensure our patients are getting the most advanced knowledge and care available." The center is expected to have a significant impact for Bullitt County as well as patients traveling from more distant parts of the state. Bullitt County Judge-Executive Jerry Summers said the importance of having advanced cancer care nearby is personal. Summers recalled traveling repeatedly to downtown Louisville while caring for his father during his battle with cancer. "To now have this exceptional level of care close to home is an absolute blessing," Summers said. Patients with lung, melanoma and gynecologic cancers are scheduled to begin receiving care at the center Sept. 14. UofL Health expects to treat all solid tumor types at the location by November, with blood cancer services beginning in January. The project also represents another major health care investment along the I-65 corridor south of Louisville, an area experiencing continued residential and commercial growth. UofL Health has created 30 jobs to support the new cancer center. More information about the Brown Cancer Center and its services is available through UofL Health's Brown Cancer Center website. Employment opportunities are available through UofL Health Careers. For anyone interested in a naming opportunity at the new location, email [email protected].

Healthy food helps Kentucky patients stay out of the hospital, national study shows. LOUISVILLE, KY (August 24, 2026) - Access to nutritious food is one of the most powerful tools for improving health, and a nationally recognized Food as Medicine initiative is demonstrating just how impactful that connection can be. Dare to Care Food Bank, in partnership with the Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation, is helping improve health outcomes across Kentuckiana through its prescription pantry program, which connects patients experiencing food insecurity with nutritious food and nutrition support as part of their overall health care. The program is part of Feeding America's Food as Medicine 3.0 initiative, one of the nation's largest evaluations of food bank and health care partnerships. Locally, the investment has enabled Dare to Care to strengthen partnerships with health care providers, including UofL Health and Family Health Centers. In total, 2,900 patients were screened for food insecurity during medical visits and connected to healthy groceries through Feeding America's prescription pantry program. In Kentuckiana, the results showed significant improvement in outcomes: * A 5% reduction in emergency room visits compared with the baseline period. * A 13% reduction in the number of participants who delayed or skipped medical care because of cost. * A 7% reduction in food insecurity among participants. * A 9% improvement in nutrition security, meaning participants reported more consistent access to healthy, nutritious food. "Food is health," said Vincent James, President and CEO of Dare to Care." When a physician can identify that a patient is struggling to access nutritious food and immediately connect them with healthy groceries, we're addressing one of the root causes of poor health. Together, we're nourishing the whole person, giving neighbors the foundation that they need to better manage their health, care for their families and truly thrive." Unlike traditional emergency food assistance, the prescriptive pantry program integrates food into a patient's care plan. Health care providers refer eligible patients to the program, which supplies nutritious food that supports chronic-condition management and reduces barriers to healthy eating. The program reflects a growing recognition that addressing food insecurity is essential to improving community health. Research consistently shows that individuals facing food insecurity are more likely to experience chronic illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension, as well as increased stress and anxiety. Consistent access to nutritious food can help improve disease management, strengthen overall well-being and reduce preventable health care utilization. "Food is a building block of whole-person health - it directly influences the physical, behavioral and social factors that shape a person's ability to get and stay healthy," said Dr. Mark Mugavin, Anthem Kentucky medical director. "The Food as Medicine 3.0 data show the downstream impact of meeting that need: access to healthy, culturally relevant food better equips people to manage chronic conditions, avoid preventable emergency department visits and hospitalizations, and support their overall health." Food banks have become trusted partners in the health care system by connecting neighbors with nutritious food, nutrition education and community resources that support whole-person care. Through these partnerships, patients receive healthy groceries and guidance that help them develop lasting healthy eating habits. As demand for food assistance continues to rise across Kentuckiana, Dare to Care remains committed to expanding innovative partnerships that improve both food security and health outcomes.
