Where are we?

Harlan County is located in the mountains of southeastern Kentucky, the state's richest bituminous coal field. The majority of the county lies between two major mountain ridges, Pine Mountain to the north and Cumberland Mountain to the south. Atop Cumberland Mountain, Harlan County shares a border with Lee County, Virginia. In between these two long mountain ridges lie the three spurs of Black Mountain, one of which is the highest point in the state. This mountain has been the source of Harlan County's economic history as a major coal producing region in the state and nation since the early 1920s.

Harlan is a two-hour drive from Knoxville, Tennessee, and a three-hour drive from Lexington, Kentucky.

Committed to quality

Harlan ARH Hospital is fully accredited, on a voluntary basis, by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).  In 2007, Harlan ARH Hospital was recognized by Thomson-Reuters as a recipient of their 100 Top Hospital Award. The hospital was also recognized as one of the nation's 100 Top Hospitals in 1998.
