Our outreach clinics enable us to serve diverse patients from underserved rural and urban  areas throughout the state of Kentucky and Southern Indiana. I also make rounds at a long term Pediatric convalescent Center (Home of Innocents or HOI), which houses over seventy-five highly medically fragile Pediatric residents. I published (in a peer reviewed journal) my experience in the long term ventilator management of this patient population.
