Rockcastle Regional

Starting as an acute-care facility in 1956, Rockcastle Regional Hospital has adapted as healthcare needs have changed.

In 1980, Rockcastle Regional opened its first long-term care unit with 32 beds and added 28 more beds just 12 years later. In 2009, Rockcastle Regional again saw a growth of 14 beds. Today our Respiratory Care Center facility offers comfortable, professional, long-term care for 93 ventilator-dependent patients, mostly from Kentucky.

We care for up to 26 patients in our acute-care facility, including a special care unit for those needing more intensive attention. And, hundreds of patients benefit from our convenient outpatient surgery and services.

Our emergency room physicians and staff are available 24 hours a day, ready to address any type of medical crisis.

Rockcastle Regional is a not-for-profit healthcare provider that accepts patients from all walks of life- regardless of age, sex, race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, type of insurance or ability to pay for services. Our staff cares for patients based on what will best meet their needs, not what is best for the bottom line.

You probably know most of our staff members. Not by their lab coats or nametags, but because they are your friends and neighbors.
