LEXINGTON, KY — April 17, 2026 – The Lexington Legends and Lexington Clinic are continuing their decades‑long partnership into the 2026 season and beyond.
The collaboration, which began with the Legends’ inaugural season in 2001, represents a shared commitment by two longstanding Lexington institutions to support local athletes and strengthen the Central Kentucky community.

Lexington Clinic Orthopedics – Sports Medicine will continue providing encompassing support throughout the season.
“We’re deeply invested in the health of Central Kentucky,” Stephen J. Behnke, MD, CEO of Lexington Clinic said. “Our partnership with the Legends is a natural extension of that commitment and supporting their athletes with the best sports medicine care we can provide, ensuring they’re prepared to perform at their highest level, is at the heart of what we do for all of our patients who walk through our doors.”
This renewed agreement continues to build on more than 25 years of shared commitment to Central Kentucky by both organizations, promoting health, wellness, and athletic excellence across the region.
