The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services approved a new 66-bed hospital in New Hanover County.
New Hanover Regional Medical Center will add 30 new beds with the new acute care hospital, and will relocate 36 beds from the NHRMC Orthopedic Hospital, which will no longer offer in-patient services. It will also open eight new operating rooms.
“We are very pleased to have reached an agreement,” said John Gizdic, Novant Health executive vice president and chief business development officer, in a news release. “This will allow us to better care for our neighbors with more accessible care and additional services.”
New Hanover Regional Medical Center s plan to expand into the fast-growing Scotts Hill and Porters Neck areas with a new hospital has hit a big regulatory bump.
The N.C. Department of Health and Human Services has denied New Hanover s certificate of need application for the project. According to the department s website, the state requires healthcare providers to obtain permission from the agency before developing or offering a new institutional health service.
The certificate of need application was filed in September after New Hanover s Board of Trustees approved spending $210 million to build the Scotts Hill Community Hospital. It raises a number of questions, said Harper Peterson, a former state senator and former mayor of Wilmington who has been critical of the county selling New Hanover Regional, of the state s decision.
