By HFT Staff


UNC Health has opened its new 107,000-square-foot patient tower at the UNC Hospitals Hillsborough Campus. The new tower includes 80 patient beds and six inpatient dialysis bays. 

The new tower brings the total number of licensed beds at the Hillsborough Campus to 163. The facility’s combined footprint now measures approximately 365,000 square feet, and the project added 100 jobs. The Hillsborough Campus treats more than 25,000 patients a year and is the primary workplace for approximately 500 UNC Health employees. 

The facility combines a community hospital culture with the innovative procedures and care for which the UNC Medical Center is known. The Hillsborough Campus includes a medical office building, an Emergency Department – which was the first ACEP accredited geriatric ED in the state – outpatient surgery, and inpatient services such as geriatric medicine, as well as support services to provide integrated, convenient and patient-centered care.
