Experiencing hip or knee pain? Or maybe a family member says it’s time for you to see someone about your walking? Luckily for Central Kentuckians, the UK HealthCare Adult Reconstruction and Hip Preservation team is here to help.

Innovative care

Their team of physicians, physician assistants, trainers, and physical therapists can treat people of all ages — from weekend warriors to on-the-go grandparents — to remain active. How? Their fellowship-trained surgeons are world-renowned for developing and implementing leading-edge techniques to diagnose, treat, and educate patients about bone and joint disorders.

They also work with patients to prevent joint replacement using hip-preservation procedures. Offering everything from state-of-the-art injections to minimally invasive procedures, the team can get you back to playing golf or even just resting peacefully. Fun Fact: University of Kentucky Men’s Basketball Coach John Calipari and UK Football Coach Mark Stoops are able to stay in the game to chase the next championship, having entrusted their care to UK’s joint replacement specialists.

The Human Rights Campaign released the 2023 Municipal Equality Index, and Lexington is at the top of the list. How did we score?

Each year, the Human Rights Campaign releases a Municipal Equality Index which takes a deep dive into municipal laws, policies, and services and how inclusive they are of LGBTQ+ people.

This year’s edition examined 506 cities on 49 different criteria across five categories — non-discrimination laws, municipality as employer, services and programs, law enforcement, and leadership on LGBTQ+ equality.

Based on these criteria, Lexington earned a score of 100 out of 100. A perfect score. Click the button below for a breakdown of how we got here… and how that score may change.
