Episode Details

Atrium Health is racing to build North Carolina’s first new hospital in nearly two decades, responding to a population explosion that’s overwhelmed the county’s lone hospital — now operating at 92% capacity. Backed by over 200 local doctors, the proposal aims to deliver specialized care in cancer, heart health, and neuroscience, leveraging Atrium’s NCI-designated cancer center. With state plans calling for 200+ new beds, community leaders and healthcare workers warn patients are facing dangerous delays — some even driving hours for care. Now under North Carolina’s Certificate of Need review, the project could reshape healthcare across the southeast if approved.
