Frontier Nursing University Heritage
Eastern Kentucky is the historic home of the Frontier Nursing Service, founded by Mary Breckinridge to provide healthcare to families in remote mountain hollows via horseback. While the university has expanded, its deep roots remain in Leslie County, and the region maintains a strong culture of rural healthcare innovation and community nursing.
