Behind The Blue

LEXINGTON, Ky. (August 14, 2025) – The University of Kentucky College of Medicine’s Department of Neurology is marking its 60th anniversary, celebrating a legacy that began in 1965 with a single faculty member and has grown into a nationally respected center for neurological care, research, and education. The department, led by chair Larry Goldstein, M.D., has expanded to more than 70 faculty and built a reputation for advancing clinical care across numerous subspecialties — from general neurology, stroke, epilepsy, and movement disorders to neuromuscular diseases, multiple sclerosis/neuroimmunology, child neurology, neuro-ophthalmology, neuro-oncology and memory disorders. With a strong commitment to serving the Commonwealth, the department partners with hospitals and clinics statewide, including outreach to rural communities through its stroke care network and traveling pediatric clinics, ensuring Kentuckians have access to specialized care without leaving the state.
