The Orthopaedic Institute of Western Kentucky

The Orthopaedic Institute of Western Kentucky was a regional orthopedic physician group and clinic in Paducah, Kentucky, providing musculoskeletal care including orthopedic surgery, podiatry, pain management, imaging, MRI, X-rays, physical therapy, and related services. The organization operated as a multi-specialty orthopedic practice and was commonly known as OIWK. Its former main facility was located at 200 Clint Hill Boulevard in Paducah. The practice has since been rebranded and integrated into Mercy Health as Mercy Health — Western Kentucky Orthopedics, which describes itself as formerly known as Orthopaedic Institute of Western Kentucky. OIWK does not appear to have been a biotech or drug-development company; rather, it was a commercial healthcare delivery organization focused on orthopedic patient care.
