Good to know
Services, screening recommendations, testing, treatment options, referrals and prescribing may vary with your age, medical history, symptoms, where you are physically located at the time of the visit, state and federal requirements, insurance requirements, and whether your condition can be safely managed by telehealth. Conditions and services listed here are examples. An appointment does not guarantee a particular diagnosis, a prescription, a controlled medication, hormone therapy, a lab order, an imaging study, a sleep study, a specialist referral, an accommodation letter or a particular treatment. Treatment decisions follow a clinical evaluation and the provider’s judgment.

Getting care in Richmond
Madison County seat and home of Eastern Kentucky University, about 25 miles south of Lexington on I-75, with one community hospital and a fast-growing commuter population.
Richmond has grown by more than 5,000 people since 2020, and Madison County still has one hospital, Baptist Health Richmond on the Eastern Bypass. In February 2026 HRSA designated the county’s low-income population a primary care shortage area, on top of an existing mental health shortage designation, and the local clinics carry some of the higher shortage scores in central Kentucky. For trauma or specialty care, residents head 30 miles up I-75 to UK HealthCare in Lexington.
A video visit with Wade’s Care First puts primary care, depression and anxiety treatment, ADHD follow-up and weight management on your phone, so you are not waiting weeks for a local opening, and labs and prescriptions go to Richmond locations.
Access in Madison County
HRSA designated Madison County’s low-income population a primary care HPSA in Feb. 2026 (LI-Madison County, score 17) and a low-income mental health HPSA (score 18); White House Clinics and Kentucky River Foothills Development Council carry FQHC HPSA scores of 21-22, and three Richmond rural health clinics hold their own designations. Madison Service Area has been a Medically Underserved Area since 1995. Richmond grew from 35,164 at the 2020 census to an estimated 40,663 in 2025. Kentucky River Foothills runs Foothills Express, including Richmond Transit buses, Big E Transit on the EKU campus and Medicaid trips.
Who this helps most in Richmond
Madison County’s chronic disease rates sit below the Kentucky median, with CDC PLACES estimating adult diabetes at 11.3 percent, but mental health is a different picture: 27 percent of adults report depression and nearly one in five report frequent mental distress. Telehealth suits Eastern Kentucky University students who need anxiety, depression or ADHD care between classes, commuters who drive to Lexington every day and cannot reach a Richmond clinic during the workday, and families in Berea and the county’s rural edges who would rather not drive for a medication check. Go in person for chest pain, stroke signs, serious injury or a mental health crisis; call 911 or go to Baptist Health Richmond or Saint Joseph Berea.
Local health considerations
- Chronic disease: CDC PLACES (2024 release; 2021–2022 survey data; crude modeled estimates) estimates Madison County adult diabetes at 11.3%, obesity 34.5% and depression 27.0%; 17.7% report frequent mental distress.
- Shortage: new low-income primary care HPSA (Feb. 2026) and low-income mental health HPSA.
- Growth: Richmond grew about 16% from 2020 to 2025.
