UofL’s Bendapudi galvanizing force in rescuing Jewish Hospital

Neeli Benedapudi has delivered.

The presence of the University of Louisville will soon be greatly magnified throughout this community, which has been spared an unbelievable loss in healthcare services for thousands of patient and jobs for health care providers.

Thanks to the leadership of Dr. Bendapudi, Jewish Hospital will not be announcing plans this week to close its doors. This historic hospital, along with nine other health care facilities in the area, will soon be under the auspices of UofL.

The University will invest $10 million in purchasing all of the assets of Kentucky One from CommonSpirit Health, its Chicago-based parent company.
