KSHE Annual Conference Connects Hundreds in Lexington

KSHE’s Annual Conference took place September 30-October 2 in Lexington, bringing hundreds of healthcare facilities professionals, industry representatives, and sponsors together to learn about the latest developments in the field. Coach Donnie Campbell, the inspiration for the “Ted Lasso” character, opened the conference with a great keynote address.

Attendees had numerous breakout and general sessions from which to choose, and lots of fun networking events as well. KSHE also recognized its honorees with several awards, including the revived KSHE Energy Derby, which saw Baptist Health Richmond receiving the award.

KSHE thanks the attendees and sponsors who made this a fantastic conference, and looks forward to 2026’s conference in Louisville!
