ARH NEWS RELEASE: ARH Internal Medicine Residency Program adds new location at Highlands Regional Medical Center Appalachian Regional Healthcare (ARH) recently added a third location to its internal medicine residency program, as four resident physicians began training at Highlands ARH Regional Medical Center.

Dr. Jonathan Piercy, who serves as ARH’s Internal Medical Program Director, said he is excited to add Highlands to the mix. “We’ve been very successful in the five years since the program began and I think Highlands will help us continue with that success,” he said. “It has a strong internal medicine faculty and a good mix of internal medicine patients, both in the inpatient and outpatient setting, so the residents will have a lot to work with and learn from.” Read the full article at https://lnkd.in/e6pcrCHC

ARH NEWS RELEASE: Retired Beckley ARH Hospital employee was a participant in medical history BECKLEY, W.Va. – John Ellison knows his childhood wasn’t much different from that of most anyone growing up in the coalfields of southern West Virginia during and immediately after the Great Depression. “My dad worked in the mines and mom was a housewife,” said Ellison, the sixth of nine siblings. “We always had a big garden and a cow and my mom would can enough that you’d be able to eat from one summer to the next. “We were poor people but everybody else was poor, too.” And like many at 19, Ellison wasn’t exactly sure what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. All he did know, he said, was that he didn’t want to follow his father underground. It’s not unusual today to hear of someone heading south in search of work. In 1952, however, most went north. “So, a friend and I went to Cleveland to work for a General Motors plant,” Ellison recalled. He said it was good work, too, but less than a year later, in early 1953, he was drafted into the Army to serve in the Korean War. The war ended while Ellison was still in basic training in Colorado – learning to ski and snowshoe in preparation for harsh Korean winters. When he was eventually discharged from the military, he returned home to Beckley and to an uncertain future. Ellison still had no intention of working in the mines, but employment at a new hospital designed to serve miners and their families piqued his interest.
