Working in conjunction with the United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Kentucky Department of Public Health (KDPH), our healthcare professionals are uniquely qualified to help combat this pandemic. Having established our own Highly Infectious Disease Unit (HIDU) back in 2015, PMC has both the equipment and capacity to handle a large number of cases. Our HIDU meets and exceeds all applicable standards for treating COVID-19.
