One of the best places to work!
 For the second straight year, Pikeville Medical Center has been selected as one of the “Best Places to Work” in Kentucky. While other healthcare organizations struggle, Pikeville Medical Center excels, and provides it's employees with competitive salaries, an exceptional benefits package, wellness incentives, supportive management and the resources they need to do their jobs more effectively.
State-Of-The-Art Diagnostic Equipment
 PMC has invested millions to offer the most advanced diagnostic imaging equipment available anywhere. Our radiologsts have access to two Siemens SOMATOM 64 slice CT scanners, and a 128 slice scanner is in the works.
 PMC was the second hospital in the world to purchase the Fonar(tm) Open Stand-up MRI. This MRI can scan patients in a much more comfortable, less stressful environment than ever available before.
In addition, the PACS system now allows physicians to have access to many of their patients' diagnostic images within seconds after they are scanned, whether the physician is in Pikeville, or on the other side of the globe.
Top quality Cancer Care
 The Leonard Lawson Canter Center was the second cancer center in the world to purchase the 2.6 million dollar Oncor Impression Linear Accelerator. This system can effectively treat many cancers that were untreatable before, and many that are inoperable due to their proximity to vital organs. This innovation, along with our physicians and a top-notch staff lead to a PRC 5 Star Service award ranking Oncology Care at PMC in the top 1% in the nation. |
Neurosurgery
 PMC's new BrainLab system allows our neurosurgeons, Dr. Duane Densler and Dr. Norman Mayer, to track the fibers and neural pathways to plan their journey into and out of the brain. This leads to surgeries that are more accurate, more effective, safer and with less damage to surrounding brain tissue.
The Heart Institute
 Pikeville Medical Center introduced Open Heart Surgery to our region in 2002. Since then, over 675 open heart procedures have been performed by world class cardiothoracic surgeons like Dr. Dennis Havens (above right). In addition, Dr. Bill Harris (above, left), one of the worlds finest, and most respected, interventional cardiologists, moved his well established practice from Lexington to Pikeville for the multitude of benefits that Pikeville Medical Center offered him as a physician.
4-D Echocardiograms
 Pikeville Medical Center was the first hospital in Kentucky to offer the exceptional imaging delivered by the GE Vivid Dimension 7 "4-D" echocardiogram system. With this system, our cardiologists can virtually see inside the chambers of your heart, watch it beat, and observe the movement from almost any angle imaginable.
Digital Mammography
 PMC has invested in the Selenia Digital Mammography system that allows radiologists far better imaging than previously available. This leads to earlier detection, more accurate diagnoses, and more lives saved.
