The residency program
and clinic moved into a new
state-of the art building in March 2004. The clinic
recently became the state's newest federally funded
health center and was renamed UK North Fork Valley
Community Health Center, which hosts the UK Family
Dental Clinic and Dental Residency Program.
The clinic has developed a reputation of excellence and serves
individual patients and families from all segments of
the community. New services are added as often as
possible to enhance the health of the community and
the education of the residents. A sample of the
on-site services currently provided by U.K. North
Fork Valley Community Health Center includes health
maintenance, treatment of acute and chronic
illnesses, family planning, obstetrical and
gynecological care, minor surgical procedures,
dietary consultation, patient education, primary
care counseling and dental care facilities. The
clinic’s new home includes 14 full-size exam rooms
with 2 procedure rooms and a medical library.
This model clinic emphasizes quality of care in an
environment that provides multi-disciplinary
education to residents, medical students, nurse
practitioner students and other health care
professionals. |
