Novant Health is moving forward with expansion plans in Brunswick County to elevate access to healthcare in North Carolina’s fastest-growing county.
The newly announced plans include a proposed hospital along U.S. 74/76 in Leland, a freestanding emergency department in Carolina Shores and investments to advance care capabilities at Novant Health’s community hospital in Bolivia. The plans complement ongoing construction for an ambulatory surgery center in the Leland area, which will expand access to convenient surgical care.
Novant Health has submitted a certificate of need application to build a 20-bed hospital, to be called the Novant Health Leland Medical Center, near the Compass Pointe community. The hospital would include a 24/7 emergency department, imaging services, 10 observation beds and five procedure rooms.
In addition, Novant Health continues to expand services at Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center in Bolivia, which will soon feature an expanded MRI space and a new cardiac catheterization lab. The new lab will allow patients to receive interventional cardiology procedures, such as stent placements, without having to travel outside the county.
To expand access to emergency care in southern Brunswick County, Novant Health submitted a certificate of need application to develop a freestanding emergency department near U.S. 17 in Carolina Shores.
