The 200-bed hospital serves as AVH’s inpatient facility and offers a broad spectrum of programs, including medical and surgical services, emergency and urgent care, inpatient adult and geriatric psychiatric care, cardiology, gynecology, oncology, and orthopedics. Virtually all outpatient services are available on the hospital campus.
