THE CLIENT

Lourdes HospitalLourdes was originally known as Riverside Hospital which was founded by the municipality in 1905. The Diocese of Owensboro purchased the hospital in 1959 and in September of that year the Sisters of St. Francis of Tiffin, Ohio arrived to manage the facility. With the change in ownership came a new name: Lourdes in honor of Our Lady of Lourdes. The Sisters assumed sponsorship in 1963. In 1982, sponsorship was returned to the Diocese. In 1973, Lourdes moved from the downtown location to a new building located on Lone Oak Road in Paducah just off Interstate 24.

Lourdes enter into a management contract with Mercy Health System in 1989, and in 1991, the Sisters of Mercy became sponsors. The Sisters of Mercy joined other systems to form Catholic Health Partners in 1997. In July 2014 Catholic Health Partners underwent a name change to Mercy Health.

Lourdes serves as a regional referral center for a wide geographic region, including more than a dozen counties in western Kentucky, southern Illinois, southeast Missouri, and northwest Tennessee. Lourdes offers an extensive array of medical specialties and technologies typically found in much larger urban settings.

Lourdes exists to extend the healing ministry of Jesus by improving the health of the communities we serve.

Our hospital is conveniently located at 1530 Lone Oak Road in Paducah just off Interstate 24 at Exit 7. Satellite clinics are located in Metropolis, Illinois and a number of sites in western Kentucky.

Lourdes Hospital has an active foundation that utilizes the generosity of its community to fund exciting growth and projects at Lourdes Hospital.

Donors' gifts are at work creating a healthier community though projects funded by Lourdes Foundation:

For the past year, Lourdes Foundation has been raising funds for a 10,000 square foot inpatient hospice care facility that will provide comfort, compassion and dignity to the terminally ill when being at home is not the right choice. Today, Lourdes is excited to report the campaign has raised over $7.35 million to fully fund construction costs and build an endowment for future patient needs.

More than 625 people have contributed to the Campaign for the Lourdes Hospice Care Center. Ray and Kay Eckstein were among the first donors to support the campaign, generously donating $1.5 million to the project. Once constructed, the center will bear the name, The Ray & Kay Hospice Care Center at Lourdes.

Lourdes partnered with the community to generate vital funding to build the Hospice Care Center and enhance hospice services for patients and families. The Campaign for the Lourdes Hospice Care Center had two purposes: construction of the $5 million facility, and an endowment fund of at least $2 million to provide inpatient hospice care for all patients, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay.

Every detail of the center will be designed so the patient and family can focus on their time together, turning final days into precious memories.

Features of the center include: • 10 large private suites with spacious patios • A team of dedicated, specialty-trained hospice staff including nurses,

physicians, chaplain counselors, social workers, personal care aides and volunteers

• Comfortable family lounges with a well-equipped kitchen • Covered portico with convenient ground-level entryway and dedicated

The members of these Diversity Councils consist of a diverse cross section of regional associates who work together to raise awareness about the importance of diversity and inclusion and to plan and implement diversity- and inclusion-related activities and programs.

THE LOCATION

PADUCAH, KENTUCKY

Paducah, originally called Pekin, offers a history and culture as deep as the rivers that surround it, and is as beautiful and culturally diverse as ever. Located at the confluence of the Tennessee and Ohio rivers, Pekin was a mixed community of Native Americans and European settlers. This cultural interaction continued until William Clark, famed leader of the Lewis and Clark expedition, arrived in 1827 with a title deed to the land. He named the land Paducah and set out to design the historic city that exists today.

Paducah is the largest city in Kentucky's Jackson Purchase Region and the county seat of McCracken County, Kentucky. The population was 26,307 at the 2008 census. Twenty blocks of Downtown Paducah have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is the hub for the Paducah Micropolitan Area, which includes McCracken, Ballard and Livingston counties in Kentucky and Massac County in Illinois; which had a population of 98,127 in 2006.

In August 2000, Paducah’s "Artist Relocation Program" was started to offer incentives for artists to relocate to its historical Downtown and Lower Town areas. The program has become a national model for using the arts for economic development, and has been awarded the Governors Award in the Arts, The Kentucky Chapter of the American Planning Association Distinguished Planning Award, The American Planning Association National Planning Award, and most recently Kentucky League of Cities' Enterprise Cities Award.

Lower Town, home of the Artist Relocation Program, is the oldest neighborhood in Paducah. As retail commerce moved toward the outskirts of town, efforts were made to preserve the architectural stylings, restoring the historic Victorian structures in the older parts of the city. The program helped that effort and became a catalyst for revitalizing the Downtown area. The Luthor F. Carson Center for the Performing Arts was also constructed. In September 2004 plans jelled to highlight Paducah's musical roots through the redevelopment of the South side of Downtown. The centerpiece of the effort is the renovation of Maggie Steed's Hotel Metropolitan, where legends such as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Chick Webb's orchestra, B.B. King, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Ike and Tina Turner and other R & B and Blues legends polished their craft along what has become known as the Chitlin' circuit. Using this genre as a foundation, supporters hope to advertise Paducah's role in the history of American music.

Paducah's natural beauty has inspired artists from around the world to relocate here. The city's exciting riverfront is the site of steamboat dockings, fireworks, concerts and festivals throughout the year. The scenic 12-mile Dogwood Trail in mid-April is beautiful by day and glorious by night.

Paducah is also conveniently located halfway between St. Louis, Missouri and Nashville, Tennessee – so a quick trip to the city is never too far away.

AttractionsPaducah offers a wide range of attractions, with something for everyone. Whether you want to catch a baseball game or view the newest blockbuster movie, Paducah has you covered. Take a stroll through Paducah Main Street and visit historic downtown Paducah or view art galleries in the Lowertown Arts District. No matter where you are from, Paducah has something for you.
