Hazard sits deep in Kentucky's Appalachian coal country, framed by the forested hills of the Cumberland Plateau. The small town carries a proud mining heritage, a walkable downtown strip, and a close-knit community where neighbors know each other. Home to Appalachian Regional Healthcare, it's a destination for nurses drawn to rural mountain living.
