2020 – A New Facility

In 2020, the Kentucky Easter Seal Society (KESS) purchased a 170,000 square foot building in Lexington, Kentucky, with the goal of converting the space to suit the needs of the Easterseals programs. Renovation began in 2021 and was completed in the spring of 2023.  This new space helped facilitate a new partnership between Easterseals and UK HealthCare’s Kentucky Children’s Hospital (KCH) , which expanded services for children who require complex medical and developmental care.  As a part of this partnership, Easterseals agreed to lease space at their Richmond Road facility to UK Healthcare’s Kentucky Children’s Hospital’s Complex Care Clinic, Developmental Pediatrics Clinic, and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Graduate clinic. In 2022, KESS adopted a new name for its operations and became Easterseals Bluegrass.
