About Arnprior Regional Health
Get to know ARH!
ARH is a regional leader and hub for select acute, long-term care and other health care services, and we’re constantly changing and growing to meet the needs of our local communities.
We’re keeping pace with clinical innovations and finding new ways of delivering care in a community setting. For example, we introduced the Assisted Living Services program, we broadened our surgical program with a greater focus on day surgery, we partnered to establish The Seniors Active Living Centre and we expanded our telemedicine program to virtually link patients to health care providers without the need for travel. By bringing all of these services and more under the ARH umbrella, we enhance patient, client and resident care and improve navigation of the healthcare system.
