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 COUNTY, N.C. (WECT) - New Hanover Regional Medical Center announced Thursday that the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services approved its certificate of need (CON) to build a 66-bed hospital in Scotts Hill.
The state health agency previously denied NHRMC’s application “due to some technical clarifications needed” but agreed to sign off on the CON after an appeal was filed, according to a news release.

Nearly three months after purchasing NHRMC, Novant Health is beefing up the “regional” in New Hanover Regional Medical Center.
The private, nonprofit announced a series of changes Tuesday that integrate key NHRMC leaders into Novant’s newly formed Coastal market as well as systemwide roles with the Winston-Salem-based health network. The new lineup means a Brunswick County health care executive is now in charge of NHRMC, while an NHRMC executive takes over the helm at Novant s Brunswick hospital.
Prior to the purchase of NHRMC, its footprint in the tri-county region was limited to Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center in Bolivia. The nearly $2 billion deal expanded that presence dramatically, making the 35,000-employee system the major health care provider in Brunswick, New Hanover and Pender counties.

Erik Helms
Novant Health hired a chief payor performance officer, which experts say seems to be a novel role among health system C-suites.
Erik Helms, who was chief performance officer for Buckeye Health Plan, will oversee Novant s payer relationships and pricing strategy. Executive compensation and governance experts said they hadn t seen that specific positions carved out by health systems.
Health system executive roles ebb and flow year to year. Technology, population health, reimbursement and telehealth have been relatively new additions to the health system C-suite, but some will naturally rise or wane.
