Behavioral healthcare access is expanding in North Carolina’s High Country.

Cannon Memorial Hospital has opened a new behavioral health hospital, Appalachian Regional Behavioral Health Hospital, which expands the number of behavioral health beds from 10 to 27.

In providing specialized inpatient behavioral health services as well as outpatient care, the new facility will help patients in Western North Carolina avoid having to visit the emergency department for mental health care.
