KentuckyOne Health was formed when two major Kentucky health care organizations came together in early 2012. KentuckyOne Health combines the Jewish and Catholic heritages of the two former systems – Jewish Hospital & St. Mary’s HealthCare and Saint Joseph Health System. In late 2012, the organization formed a partnership with the University of Louisville Hospital | James Graham Brown Cancer Center.
The nonprofit system is committed to improving the health of Kentuckians by integrating medical research, education, technology and health care services wherever patients receive care. KentuckyOne Health has more than 200 locations including hospitals, physician groups, clinics, primary care centers, specialty institutes and home health agencies across the state of Kentucky and southern Indiana. KentuckyOne Health is the largest health system in Kentucky.
Services/Products
Based out of the Jewish Hospital, the physicians of Vascular Surgery Associates have provided specialized diagnosis and treatment of vein, artery and circulation issues for nearly 30 years. Our expert team performs a full range of surgical and nonsurgical treatments, and their expertise can make the difference in your vascular care.
Treatments provided by Vascular Surgery Associates include traditional open surgical procedures, expert comprehensive care for a variety of vascular issues and minimally invasive endovascular surgery. The minimally invasive surgical approach allows many patients to resume normal activities quickly after a short hospital stay.
Included in the vascular care provided at Jewish Hospital are treatments for all aortic conditions, including abodominal aneurysms, thoracic aneurysms and dissections. The aorta is the main artery in the human body, distributing oxygen-filled blood to all parts of the body, and requires state-of-the-art treatment techniques when needed. These latest treatments are available within the Aortic Center at Jewish Hospital, including complex surgical reconstruction, endovascular stent grafts and medical therapy.
The latest innovation in vascular care at Jewish Hospital is not a treatment, but rather a new operating room (OR), which is the first of its kind in Kentucky - a hybrid OR. This new OR is multifunctional and can be used to treat many different types of heart and vascular conditions. The hybrid OR is a great benefit in treating patients with complex vascular diseases because its advanced imaging capabilities allows for more minimally invasive procedures.
Our commitment to &ldquoimproved circulation&rdquo begins before any treatments, procedures or therapies though. In an effort to prevent vascular events, like aneurysms or strokes, from occurring, KentuckyOne Health offers diagnostic vascular screenings at multiple facilities for just $50. Since vascular conditions do not always present with symptoms, a screening could help detect a problem before it occurs.
