Hospital is an 88 bed Joint Commission-accredited Acute Care Facility that has served the heart of South Alabama since 1966. Offering a wide range of diagnostic, therapeutic, emergency and surgical services, the hospital was pleased to take part in the grand opening of the Comprehensive Cancer Center of Andalusia. With the addition of both 21st Century Oncology for Radiation Oncology and Sacred Heart Medical Oncology, our patients will not have to travel long distances for oncological care and treatment. As a compliment to this new service, ARH added a valuable diagnostic tool with PET Scan service.
Hospital was also awarded a $10,000 grant through the Alabama Department of Public Health in March, 2012. The program links Medical staff with stroke specialists using two-way video. This grant also provides a one-year sponsorship of the Get With The Guidelines Stroke quality improvement program with the goal of increasing access to stroke care and improving long-term patient outcomes.
