EKVC Renamed for former Governor Paul E. Patton

On September 28, 2009, The Eastern Kentucky Veterans Center in Hazard underwent a name change following an executive order recently signed by Gov. Steve Beshear.

The governor was on hand for a dedication ceremony at the facility in Hazard renaming the center for former two-term Governor Paul Patton.  The facility will now be called the Paul E. Patton Eastern Kentucky Veterans Center.
