Harlan ARH Hospital's comprehensive laboratory is dedicated to the detection and monitoring of disease. The mission of ARH is evident with the fact that adequate money is available to our Laboratory to always keep the best equipment available to provide quality healthcare to our community. We are very proud of our new state-of-the-art Liquid-Based Thin Layer Pap Smear procedure for the women of our community. Harlan ARH Laboratory is the only provider of this test in Southeastern Kentucky. We work around-the-clock, seven days a week testing, evaluating, and reporting results that help provide answers for your better health.
