Novant Health Inc. said Thursday that it will spend $222 million to build a critical-care tower at Forsyth Medical Center projected to open in late 2024.
The tower is the largest investment by Novant for its main Triad hospital and is the second phase of an overall $403.4 million project at the Winston-Salem hospital.
Chad Setliff, president of Novantâs greater Winston-Salem market, said the system âdoes not anticipate additional mega projects at Forsyth for the foreseeable future. Setliff defined mega projects as being more than $10 million in capital investments.
The tower will be built on the site of the hospitalâs Rehabilitation Center, which will be torn down. The tower is projected to open 24 months after that demolition is completed.

The Enville Fire Department is stepping up to help local residents.
“We’ve been in a process of handing out water, bottled water, for the residents that needed it, and also water for people to use flushing their commodes and feeding their animals,” said Enville Fire Chief Thomas Gilham.
Gilham says the loss of water is due to many water lines busting. The fire department is currently searching to find the leaks in their system.
He says there are a few things you can do to help.
“If you do come across a leak, cut your meter off and then you will have to call a plumber to get out and find where the leak is actually at to actually fix it,” Gilham said.
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.
