The Hospital
Clark Regional Medical Center is a 100-bed community hospital that has served the residents of east-central Kentucky since 1917. The hospital has been recognized the past two years as one of the “Best Places to Work in Kentucky,” by the Kentucky Society for Human Resource Management and the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. It has more than 100 physicians, 500 employees and 100 volunteers operating its five medical office buildings on campus. Clark Regional also operates an immediate care center in Winchester and a rural health clinic in Powell County and is fully accredited by the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program.
Clark Regional broke ground in 2010 on a new $60 million, 132,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art hospital to replace the current 43-year-old facility. Completion of the new facility is expected in spring 2012. New and expanded care features for the upcoming facility include: diagnostic services, expanded emergency services, home-like labor and delivery suites, private patient rooms and transitional care unit.
The Community
Clark County is in central Kentucky, 20 miles east of Lexington, 96 miles east of Louisville and 101 miles south of Cincinnati. The county was named for George Rogers Clark, commander of the Great Northwest Campaign that took place from 1779-1780. At the heart of Clark County is the town of Winchester, which was founded in 1792 but has roots dating from 1685 when Shawnee Indians inhabited the area.

Leeds Theatre is the center for the arts hosting plays, local productions and sell-out events. The Winchester Art Guild Gallery downtown showcases many local artisans’ beautiful pieces of artwork. The Winchester Opera House hosts many cultural events, weddings, holiday fairs and community events. The Bluegrass Heritage Museum houses artifacts, memorabilia and history of the county’s past. Its beautiful Romanesque Revival-style architecture was built between 1893 and 1895. The museum also has a unique gift shop and hosts a monthly lecture series. Clark County is the host of the Annual Daniel Boone Festival held the weekend of Labor Day, the Beer Cheese Festival in downtown Winchester held the second weekend in June, and the Scarecrow Festival in October.
During the summer, the Clark County Fair draws big crowds for livestock shows, rodeos, tractor pulls, horse shows, live entertainment and much more.
