About Baptist Health Corbin & BHMG Corbin

Baptist Health Corbin is a 273-bed acute and skilled-care hospital serving more than 200,000 residents across southeastern Kentucky and parts of Tennessee. The hospital offers a wide range of specialties including interventional and general cardiology, gastroenterology, oncology, women’s health, orthopedics, primary care, and many others. Physicians here benefit from advanced technology like a brand-new 264-slice cardiac CTA and two fully equipped cath labs, along with strong referral networks and supportive, experienced teams.

Our behavioral health program includes 59 inpatient beds serving adults, geriatric patients, and adolescents. We also lease space on our campus to a 32-bed ContinueCARE long-term acute care hospital (LTAC), which provides extended recovery care for medically complex patients.

Baptist Health Corbin is currently undergoing a $100 million expansion that includes an 80,000-square-foot patient care wing, with completion expected in early 2027. This project will add new private inpatient rooms, expand our emergency department, and significantly increase ICU capacity. It’s a major investment in the future of healthcare in our region, made possible in part by more than $15 million in local philanthropic support.

Emergency preparedness and regional access are major strengths of our facility. We operate an on-site helipad and maintain a close partnership with Air Evac Lifeteam, one of the leading air medical transport providers in the country. In addition, Baptist Health Corbin owns and operates two of its own ambulances to ensure timely and reliable patient transfers across the region.

We’re proud of the culture we’ve built here. Baptist Health Corbin hasn’t had a traveling nurse in over two years, and the average tenure among staff is 14 years. It’s a stable, mission-driven environment where physicians are given the autonomy to shape their practice, the tools to provide exceptional care, and the work-life balance that makes a long-term career not just possible, but fulfilling.
