Appalachian Regional Behavioral Health

Located adjacent to Cannon Memorial Hospital, Appalachian Regional Behavioral Health Hospital is a 27-bed inpatient facility. As the only Behavioral Health Hospital in a 40-mile radius, Appalachian Regional Behavioral Health felt the dire need to expand its facility after being unable to help more than 5,000 psychiatric referral patients each year due to a lack of available inpatient beds. With the help of a $6.5 million grant from the NC Department of Health and Human Services, the previous 10-bed behavioral health unit at Cannon Memorial Hospital relocated to this 27-bed facility.
