History

Dr. William R. Willard was the founder of the Albert B. Chandler Medical Center and dean of the College of Medicine at UK. Nurses were in short supply so he proposed the idea of the nursing program for high school graduates and for registered nurses. In May 1960, the college enrolls 35 women who make up the first class and the first class to graduate in 1964. They began to add more and more programs to the college throughout the following years. In 2010, the college celebrated its 50th anniversary. In 2014, Dr. Janie Heath is appointed as the fifth dean and remains the dean until today.[2]
