WE HAVE A great issue of MD-Update for you this month, one of our biggest issues ever. My appreciation and gratitude go out to the physicians who took their time to speak with us and have their picture taken.
If there’s a recurring theme in this Women & Children’s Health issue of MD-Update, it’s the continuing advancement in care for BOTH women and children in Kentuckiana. Our cover story describes the growth of pediatric care in cardiology and neurology at Norton Healthcare. Our special section stories focus on doctors in OB-GYN, maternal-fetal medicine, pediatric orthopedics, gynecological oncology, women’s health in the public health sector, and continuing care for post-adolescent autistic individuals.
I hope you enjoy getting to know these fellow physicians and the work they are doing.
When I started MD-Update in 2010, an attorney friend told me that I needed to talk to Dr. Preston Nunnelley if I wanted to know “what was what” in Kentucky medicine. I knew the name Preston Nunnelley and his position as chief medical officer at Central Baptist. I then learned about his position as chair of the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure and his numerous roles at the Lexington Medical Society and the Kentucky Medical Association.
It took a while but in 2015, I finally had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Nunnelley in his office for a conversation. Our 30 minutes turned into an hour plus. The interview ran in two separate issues of MD-Update, January and February issues 90 and 91. You can find it on the MD-Update website.
I really got to know Dr. Nunnelley while sitting next to him, sharing a bag of peanuts and a cold Coke or hot chocolate at high school baseball games. Preston’s grandson Wyatt and my son Chandler played on the same Henry Clay High School team in 2015–2016. There’s a lot of time during a high school baseball game to talk about any number of topics, and we did.
Dr. Nunnelley was as fine an example of physician-servant-leader as I’ve ever met. The 2025–26 MD-Update editorial calendar is on the preceding page. When you see your specialty and you have a story to tell, contact me. If your specialty isn’t included, that’s another reason to reach out to me. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads!
Until December, all the best,
Gil Dunn
