ACMH Hospital

ACMH Hospital is an exceptional facility with a comprehensive array of services – many of which are unique for a community hospital. Featuring over 80 private rooms in a campus-like setting, ACMH has been a trusted member of the community since 1898. Located in Kittanning, Pennsylvania, ACMH is proud to be recognized as Armstrong County’s largest employer. Throughout the years, ACMH has become an increasingly advanced community healthcare system featuring robotic surgery, advanced pulmonary care and state-of-the-art interventional radiology specialties. These services join its already top-ranked cardiovascular program, knee and shoulder replacement specialties and primary stroke center capabilities. With the recently completed expansion of the hospital system’s Laube Cancer Center, ACMH now provides comprehensive cancer care in a beautiful new facility designed for convenience and support.
