About Graves Gilbert Clinic
In 1937, G.Y. Graves and J.T. Gilbert forged an unlikely partnership and embarked on a journey, the outcome of which no one could have predicted. By 1941, Bowling Green's first multi-specialty group was formed and by 1969, the clinic housed 15 of the city's 37 total physicians. Today, Graves Gilbert Clinic houses more than 200 providers, representing 30 medical specialties, who continue to lead the way in medical innovation and technology, and serve South Central Kentucky with the same level of care and dedication that their founding fathers promised over 80 years ago when Dr. Graves and Dr. Gilbert shook hands and made a commitment to the future: A commitment to a Lifetime of Care.
