The Appalachian Regional Healthcare System and UNC Health announced the approval of a comprehensive, long-term management services agreement to expand local healthcare services and improve access to resources for patients in the High Country region of North Carolina.
“In February, the ARHS Board of Trustees announced its desire to explore a potential relationship to strengthen the health system’s ability to bring new resources to the community,” said ARHS Board Chair Thomas Dale. “Our thorough process led us to UNC Health, one of the most recognized and trusted health systems in the country.
