Jewish Hospital, part of KentuckyOne Health, will welcome Mayor Greg Fischer and Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt, director of the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health, to kick-off the hospital’s Mayor’s Mile. A Mayor’s mile is a system of ground markers and pole signs that designate every 1/10th of a mile to help facilitate walking for groups and individuals.

The Mayor’s Mile on the Jewish Hospital Medical Campus is the third location at a KentuckyOne Health facility.
