UK Chandler Hospital Topping Out Celebration
The UK Chandler Hospital Topping Out Celebration will be held on Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Over 7,000 people are expected to attend the event. This celebration will directly impact faculty, staff and students in the Wethington Building. Rose Street will be closed from Washington Avenue to Limestone from Tuesday September 29th through Thursday October 1st. The loading dock adjacent to the Wethington Building will be closed during this time. We are working with UK Healthcare administrators to find alternate delivery routes and patient drop offs for this time frame. More information will follow as soon as logistics are resolved. Please see Vicki Riddell-Peavler with any questions or concerns. Back to Top2009 Hall of Fame Induction, Scholarship Dinner and Scholarship ScrambleThe Hall of Fame and Scholarship Dinner will be held at Central Baptist Hospital on Thursday, October 8th (time TBD). We hope to have as many faculty, donors and alumni present as possible to show the level of support and dedication we have for our students. We're also resuming the annual golf tournament, but now with a focus on raising money for student scholarships. Our goal is to raise $25,000 this year, however we need faculty and staff participation in order to reach that goal. Here are some ideas how you can help make this event a success:
The event will be on October 9th at Griffin Gate Golf Club. The shotgun start begins at 8 a.m. (breakfast and lunch provided).The goal is to raise funds to support deserving students financially. Scholarships can have a major impact on students and this is a fun and easy way to help in the cause - plus, your contribution is tax deductible.

Back to Top45th Anniversary PlanningPlanning has already begun for the 45th anniversary of the college in 2011. During an initial meeting, it was suggested that we poll alumni, friends, donors, staff, faculty and students to find out people would prefer to celebrate this occasion. Please click on the link below to provide feedback on this topic. The survey should only take about one to two minutes and will help us greatly in the planning process. Click here to take the survey. Back to TopResearch Study on Arm Use in Women With and Without Breast CancerResearchers at the University of Kentucky College of Health Sciences are conducting a research study on arm use in women with and without breast cancer. The purpose is to learn about arm motion, strength and use of the arm and shoulder among women who have had breast cancer treatment and compare that information with women who have not had any history of breast cancer or shoulder injury.
