¶ … change plan at Appalachian Regional Healthcare
Change is once concept that has to be embraced by all organizations that are to survive the current global approaches that are relevant to almost all departments; it is the only permanent thing that will never go away from any organization.
In the context of Appalachian Regional Healthcare (ARH), it is important to understand the mission, vision and values that direct the hospital in order to comprehend the significance of the change suggested. The ARH mission is to improve health and promote well-being of all the people in Central Appalachia in partnership with our communities.
