Overview of Rockcastle Regional Hospital and Respiratory Care Center

Rockcastle Regional Hospital and Respiratory Care Center has been providing quality healthcare to Rockcastle and surrounding counties for more than 50 years. Starting as an acute-care facility in 1956, the 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. In 2017, another 28 beds were added to our Respiratory Care Center facility and another 16 were added in 2019 which offers comfortable, professional, long-term care for a total of 143 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.
