Love Your Skin CampaignFounded in 1959, Lexington Clinic Foundation is a non-profit organization that funds many important programs each year, giving hope to the people in our community by supporting medical education, research, and scholarships.
Lexington Clinic Foundation began public funding of non-profit community projects in 2009. The projects currently funded include the following:- Baby Health is an organization that provides free medical care to children who have no access to health insurance.
- Lexington Rescue Mission is a group that provides health care to needy, uninsured adults.
- Prevent Child Abuse Kentucky is a project that will provide training for targeted medical facilities. The training will teach staff to recognize signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect and understand available local resources and responsibilities under Kentucky Statutes.
- Camp Horsin' Around assists seriously ill children to join in a camping experience by providing the proper setting, equipment and staff for their special needs.
- Faith in Action, is a volunteer program that assists elderly individuals to delay entry into long-term care facilities and will expand their service by inclusion of a program to assist in fall prevention.
In addition to the community projects, Lexington Clinic Foundation awarded 20 Allied Health scholarships to Central Kentucky students and one Medical scholarship. Also, Lexington Clinic Foundation has directly produced Smoking Cessation classes and a widely publicized Skin Cancer Awareness campaign.
