Two North Carolina-based university health systems have announced an agreement to construct the state’s first standalone children’s hospital.
"Faculty from both schools will serve as clinical staff. They will also teach medical students, pediatric residents, fellows, nurses and other healthcare professionals, and they'll do so in facilities built specifically for children," said Dr. Craig Albanese, the CEO of Duke University Health System.
Duke Health and UNC Health are creating a new nonprofit, N.C. Children’s, to build and operate the 500-bed hospital. A site has not yet been chosen but is expected to be announced this summer. It will involve a campus of at least 100 acres with a children’s outpatient center and a children’s behavioral health hospital.
The facility, called “N.C. Children’s,” was characterized as a “decade-long goal” for both institutions and is expected to lessen the strain on other regional facilities amid increased demand for care.
