That’s why Lexington Clinic and UK HealthCare’s Markey Cancer Center have joined forces. We’ve combined Lexington Clinic’s century of experience in forward-thinking, community- based care with Markey’s nationally-ranked expertise and access to the very latest research and treatments. The result—Markey Cancer Center at Lexington Clinic—offers a level of knowledge and experience in treating cancer here in Kentucky that no one else can claim. For our patients and their families, it means more options. More treatments. More support. More ways to help you fight cancer—all without leaving the comfort of your community and the doctors and nurses you know and trust. Lexington Clinic and Markey Cancer Center have always shared a dedication to the health of Kentuckians. This is our home, and the people who live here are our friends, our neighbors, our family. We believe that no Kentuckian should have to leave the state to receive the world-class care they deserve.
