This article was contributed by Shelbourn Stevens, prior Senior VP and President of Novant Health New Hanover Regional Medical Center and Coastal Market.
One of the most pressing priorities facing our region is how we meet the needs of our rapidly growing population. It was a driving factor behind the sale of New Hanover Regional Medical Center to Novant Health in 2021, as neither NHRMC nor New Hanover County had the resources to grow services quickly.
At the time of the sale, Novant Health committed to investing $2.5 billion to fund our growth. While we, like the rest of the health care industry, have been challenged by a nationwide shortage of clinical staff, we are making progress on that commitment: providing new ways of accessing care, new locations for care, and significantly expanded services and advancements.
