Compass One Healthcare is a proud partner of UK Healthcare, going beyond the vendor relationship to support the mission and values of the most rapidly-growing community resource in the commonwealth of Kentucky.
Prioritizing innovation and technology across a broad spectrum of projects and initiatives, Compass One Healthcare has applied their facilities planning expertise to their Wildcat Café Renovation, as well as their Cancer Center and Chandler expansion projects. The team at Compass One is currently strategizing the launch of Just Walk Out (JWO) technology in future ambulatory spaces.
Based on the campus of the University of Kentucky, UK HealthCare has been serving Lexington and its surrounding communities since 1962. In recent decades, UK HealthCare has grown far beyond its flagship Albert B. Chandler Hospital in the heart of Lexington, providing the most advanced patient care as one community committed to creating a healthier Kentucky.

As an academic medical center, UK HealthCare is able to leverage the expertise of its six affiliated educational institutions and the UK Markey Cancer Center – the only National Cancer Institute-Designated Cancer Center in Kentucky.

UK HealthCare’s University of Kentucky Albert B. Chandler Hospital remains the No. 1 hospital in Kentucky and the Bluegrass Region, according to U.S. News & World Report's Best Hospitals Rankings.
“We say vendor, traditionally, but we are talking about partners. Words do matter in regards to how we think about integrations. We all have the same outcomes. We rely on the expertise of our partners. The ability to think broader than one client. We might do something once, but the team at Compass One are doing this at 10, 20, 1000 locations. How do we lean into this? We are growing rapidly to serve the commonwealth health needs at a higher level. Our mission is rather distinct: to advance Kentucky in everything we do. We have to have partners, to achieve these outcomes faster, to help us think differently, and be better at serving our community.”
-Dr. Eric Monday, Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration and Co-executive Vice President for Health Affairs at the University of Kentucky
