Appalachian Regional
Healthcare Foundation
The NC High Country is home to people from many different walks of life.
People live and play here, away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
Our small mountain towns are home to the best healthcare facilities around.
But we can do more. Together, we can increase access to top quality healthcare
services that will enrich the lives of those who call these mountains home.
Ask about how you can join us to make an impact. We are a 501C3 nonprofit
organization and all gifts are tax deductible.
