A Louisville clinic focused on providing medical services for children and adults with intellectual development disabilities is set to lose millions in funding, resulting in drastic cuts in staffing and services for patients.
The state-owned Lee Specialty Clinic is set to see a $4.5 million reduction in funding through 2028, Beth Fisher, a spokesperson for the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, said in a statement. The cuts stem from the latest two-year budget approved by the Kentucky legislature in April, part of which called for the clinic’s outpatient services to receive $720,000 in funding for fiscal year 2026-27 and $697,500 in fiscal year 2027-28. Inpatient services are expected to continue at Bingham Gardens Intermediate Care Facility in Louisville.
