OneQuest Health Continues Growth, Increasing Mental Health Services, with First Louisville Outpatient Expansion
COVINGTON, KY – MARCH 17, 2026 – OneQuest Health, a nearly 150-year-old healthcare organization currently impacting clients from 85 of the 120 counties of Kentucky, today announced the opening its first outpatient mental health office in Louisville. The expansion marks another major milestone in the organization’s quest to transform Kentucky’s health by scaling integrated, proactive mental health care across the Commonwealth.
Located in the Medical Arts Center at 1169 Eastern Parkway, the new facility will provide individual, couples, and family therapy to those grappling with mental illness, addiction, and other behavioral challenges that impact their stability at home, in the workplace, and throughout the community. Patients also have access to telehealth to create an easier path to mental health and for intensive outpatient programming.
The expansion comes as Kentucky’s mental health system faces a persistent crisis. Currently, 3.4 million Kentuckians live in mental health professional shortage areas. This lack of accessible care has led to dire systemic consequences:
Emergency Room Surges: 10.7% of Kentucky children and adolescents sought emergency department care for mental health crises in 2023 – a 13% increase since 2021.
The Treatment Gap: Approximately 70% of Kentucky adults with substance use disorders did not receive treatment.
Juvenile Justice Impact: 70% of Kentucky youth in the juvenile justice system have a diagnosed mental health condition.
"Our board of trustees and 165 team members are truly excited about our new Louisville location," said Rick Wurth, CEO of OneQuest Health. "More resources coming into OneQuest Health via both private and public funding streams equals more impact - especially among populations who experience more barriers to mental healthcare services. We are putting our donations to work quickly and effectively around the Commonwealth."
OneQuest Health expects the Louisville office to open Spring 2026, expanding access for residents of Jefferson and surrounding counties. This is OneQuest Health’s second new office opening in less than two years. OneQuest Health also operates treatment locations in Burlington, Covington, and Williamstown, Kentucky, with many services accessible via telehealth to reach clients wherever they are.
