Appalachian Mountains are a majestic world that is full of life and

wonders beg to be explored throughout Kentucky and West Virginia.
Diversity and inclusion are at home in appalachia. The roots of
diversity run deep in the mining and lumber communities of this
region. Industrious individuals from all over the world flocked to
the region to find prosperity within these once booming business
sectors. The rich global heritage and traditions of our earliest
settlers still exist within these communities. It's incumbent on
ARH-as a business and community leader-to carry that legacy of
diversity into the future and beyond. Established for the
community. From our very beginning, we've been rising to meet the
healthcare needs of the people in Appalachia. Our independent,
not-for-profit health system was formed in the 1960s when thousands
of Appalachian citizens were going to lose their local hospitals.
Since then, we've remained steadfast in our commitment to ensure
that the people of southeastern Kentucky and southern West Virginia
would always have a health system that works as hard for them as
they do for one another.
