Where Can A Blastomycosis Case Receive Best Medical Attention?

My brother age 61 has been diagnosed with severe blastomycosis. He has been hospitalized five times since November 2015--each time getting worse. This time he had a seizure and quit breathing turning blue. He also has diabetes. We feel like the doctors don t know what to do. We live in Owensboro, Kentucky and would like to move him to a facility that has treated this before. Any suggestions on a hospital or doctors?
