Owensboro Health is Committed to Providing Exceptional and Inclusive Care

At Owensboro Health, our communities are the foundation of our mission and guide every decision we make. We are dedicated to our patients, and their needs drive our actions. Our healthcare professionals must have the skills and knowledge necessary to provide compassionate and effective care to all patients, regardless of their abilities.

To address this, we provided our leaders with patient care training tailored to individuals with disabilities. This training ensures our caregivers understand these patients' unique challenges and needs. We have partnered with Amanda Owen, Founder and Executive Director of Puzzle Pieces, to share advancements in health equity for patients with disabilities and equip our team with the knowledge they need to provide excellent patient care to all kinds of patients.

“Owensboro Health appreciates the opportunity to partner with Amanda, enabling our caregivers to learn skills that will benefit all our patients and ultimately lead to healthier outcomes,” said Chris Sale, VP of Operations. 

We value our partnerships with organizations that enhance and improve our communities, which is central to our commitment to community service.
