October 2, 2012 · An approved $6.7 million loan was announced today for the largest provider of care and single largest employer in southeastern Kentucky and the third largest private employer in southern West Virginia, Appalachian Regional Healthcare.

State Director Bobby Lewis announced that the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development approved a Community Facilities Direct Loan of $6.7 million for the not-for-profit health care provider Appalachian Regional Healthcare, based in Raleigh County. 

The Rural Development funds will be used to renovate the existing Beckley Appalachian Regional Hospital.  The project will include a new facility exterior, renovations to the fourth floor, and an upgrade to the heating and air conditioning system. 

 

An initial loan of $6.8 million was approved in June. This completes a package for $13.5 million to renovate the existing hospital.
