RMF Engineering and AdventHealth have broken ground on the new Weaverville hospital, designed to support and expand access to compassionate, whole-person care across Western North Carolina. RMF provided engineering services for both the building and central utility plant.  

AdventHealth Weaverville's first phase includes 67 beds and will provide emergency care, medical-surgical inpatient services, intensive care, labor and delivery and advanced imaging. The 270,000-square-foot hospital will also serve as a tertiary and trauma response for the growing region.  

AdventHealth Weaverville hospital is part of a broader commitment by AdventHealth, a faith-based health system, to care for the whole person — body, mind and spirit — through expanded outpatient services, physician offices and rural health clinics across Western North Carolina.   

Plans for its capacity growth are already underway, and if approved, would further enhance the hospital's emergency services, labor and delivery, intensive care, medical-surgical units and diagnostic capabilities. Proposals include a future bed tower, which would add an additional 123,000 gross square feet to the current footprint and bring its total bed count to 222.
