KentuckyOne Health Announces Affiliation Agreement With Taylor Regional Hospital
New agreement provides greater access, efficiencies and support to the Campbellsville community
through a relationship with Saint Joseph Hospital

Lexington, Ky. (March 15, 2018) — KentuckyOne Health is pleased to announce a new affiliation agreement with Taylor Regional Hospital in Campbellsville. This new agreement will bring greater alignment and support with Saint Joseph Hospital and the Lexington-based KentuckyOne Health.

The affiliation agreement will provide a range of support and increased efficiencies for Taylor Regional Hospital through Saint Joseph Hospital’s tertiary services and expertise. With this partnership, Saint Joseph Hospital will be able to provide access to subspecialty services not currently available in Taylor County. Work has already begun to provide spine surgery at Taylor Regional. Collaboration will also be available in areas such as payer contracting, supply chain and purchasing.

“In shaping the future of KentuckyOne Health, it is important that we engage partners in communities across Kentucky to help share resources and increase access to the exceptional specialty care found at Saint Joseph Hospital,” said Bruce Tassin, Market CEO for KentuckyOne Health and President of Saint Joseph Hospital. “We have a long history of caring for many patients from Taylor County and surrounding areas. By establishing this new affiliation agreement, we will strengthen that bond and engage in a new partnership to support health and wellness in the local Campbellsville community.”

Physician and administrative leaders at both organizations will work closely together to identify ongoing opportunities to support the local community.

“As a county-owned facility, we are proud to be a part of this community serving Taylor County and many of the surrounding counties for more than 50 years,” said Jane Wheatley, CEO, Taylor Regional Hospital. “Our goal is to treat each patient like they are a part of our own family. This affiliation with Saint Joseph Hospital and KentuckyOne Health will allow us to share resources and offer more services locally to increase our ability to support patients, all for the benefit of our community.”

Support for Taylor Regional Hospital via the affiliation agreement will begin immediately. KentuckyOne Health has long-standing experience and collaboration with Taylor Regional Hospital through prior agreements with KentuckyOne Health and Jewish Hospital.
