Outpatient Clinic

Our outpatient clinic is like a doctor’s office in the community; initial assessments and follow-up appointments all take place in the outpatient clinic. Diagnostic and therapeutic services the physician may order (radiology, laboratory, physical and occupational therapy, orthotics and prosthetics) are located in the hospital, a real convenience for busy families.

Each patient is assigned a care coordinator, a nurse who will assist the family as needed and assure that care rendered at Shriners Hospital is coordinated with services the child may be receiving from other health care providers in their home community.

How to Request an Initial Evaluation

For your convenience a direct referral line is available from 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday at (800) 444-8314 or (859) 268-5666.

An application for treatment form is available for download in English or Spanish. This form is a request for an initial evaluation, not for admission to the hospital as an inpatient. If you choose to complete the form, you do not have to fill in the space designated for a sponsoring Shriner. Please send the completed form to:

Shriners Hospitals for Children – Lexington
Patient Services Coordinator
1900 Richmond Road
Lexington, KY 40502

All requests for care are reviewed by the chief of staff to assure that the child has a condition that we specialize in.

If your child's condition is one that we specialize in, a packet of information will be mailed to you which includes the following:

• A letter noting the initial appointment date and time
• Several pre-registration forms
• A checklist of things to bring on your first visit
• Map and directions
• Listing of our affiliated Shriners that provide transportation to the hospital

If your child has a condition that is not within our scope of expertise, you will receive a telephone call from our patient services coordinator explaining that we do not specialize in the service your child needs. If we are unable to reach you by telephone, you will receive a letter.
