Surgery Services
When faced with surgery, the last thing anyone wants to do is travel far from home. That’s why Appalachian Regional Healthcare System is committed to providing advanced surgical services for patients in the High Country. We favor Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), focusing on small incisions, faster recovery, and quicker return to life’s daily activities.
