Company History
St. Claire opened its doors on July 1, 1963. The hospital, named for Dr. Claire Louise Caudill, is sponsored by the Sisters of Notre Dame and is a Catholic, not-for-profit hospital.
Since day one, UK St. Claire and the University of Kentucky (UK) have had a strong relationship. Dr. Warren Proudfoot was instrumental in forming the affiliation with UK which has provided and continues to provide much-needed specialty practices. A spirit of collaboration continues to exist among UK St. Claire and other medical facilities. A dedication to the teaching and education of health professionals began during these early years.
Expansions in 1972, 1980 and 1994 added beds and services. From 1973 to 1991, primary care centers were established in Rowan, Menifee, Bath, Carter and Elliott counties. In 1971 home health services began to meet the needs of homebound patients in eight surrounding counties. With each expansion and added service, the staff at UK St. Claire strengthens its commitment to provide quality healthcare in a caring environment through the living of its mission.
