UNC Health celebrated the upcoming opening of the new North Carolina Surgical Hospital in Chapel Hill. The hospital, which is scheduled to begin treating patients in July, is the single largest addition to the Chapel Hill campus since it was built in 1952. It will help ensure that patients from across the state will receive the most advanced surgical care and services now and well into the future.
The state-of-the-art facility spans seven stories and encompasses 375,000 square feet meticulously designed to offer a comforting atmosphere for patients and their loved ones. Boasting 26 advanced surgical suites and 80 patient rooms, the facility is fully equipped to facilitate the latest procedures, reinforcing our commitment to delivering superior patient care. Notably, four of these operating rooms are designated as “hybrid spaces,” seamlessly integrating imaging technology into surgical procedures to enhance precision and efficiency.
Good design in a space like this offers patients and their families a sense of peace and respite during some of the most unsettling or difficult days in their lives. The meticulous design of this hospital also had our physicians and staff top of mind. We know our teams save and improve lives daily. Now that work will accelerate in a place that’s built to foster collaboration and nurture camaraderie.
The North Carolina Surgical Hospital is a symbol of growth and innovation, designed to offer the people of North Carolina more immediate access to complex care. In addition, we are proud to help train the next generation of surgeons in this new facility.
The new N.C. Surgical Hospital will employ about 500 people, including over 100 new jobs.
