Folks in D.C. may be limiting access to health care, but in Kentucky we're expanding it. From opening the first hospital in West Louisville in 150 years to PMC's Appalachian Valley Autism Center, expanding Medicaid and more, we're making sure families can get the care they deserve.

2025 was the second-best year in our history for economic investment. Together, we've celebrated the first-, second-, third- and fifth-largest years, while also securing a record number of jobs at the highest incentivized wage for Kentuckians.

Team Kentucky is ready for 2026!
