University of Kentucky and other medical specialists from around the commonwealth who travel to the clinic on a weekly or biweekly basis to provide consultant or follow-up care in multiple areas. These include
neurosurgery,
oncology,
cardio-thoracic, and high-risk
prenatal care, among others. The purpose of these specialty clinics is to eliminate the need for patients to travel to
Lexington to see a specialist. These clinics are bilocated, with one on site at the HRMC main campus, and the other located in Paintsville. ==References==
