Hospital turf wars: Why NC hospitals are racing to build
Across North Carolina, health systems are spending billions to grow and stake out new territory. Will patients be better off? North Carolina hospitals are in an arms race to expand and compete for state permission to build new beds. Durham-based Duke Health is partnering with Gastonia-based CaroMont Health, and Charlotte-based Atrium Health is planning to expand into Raleigh by combining with WakeMed. Meanwhile, Novant Health has received approval to build hospitals in Denver and Asheville, a market long dominated by Atrium and Mission Health. Experts attribute this growth to North Carolina's population growth, a more competitive health care landscape, and a belief among hospital executives that the only way to survive in the marketplace is to grow. The competition is generating billions of dollars in hospital construction in North Carolina’s major metro areas and their suburbs, including Charlotte, the Triangle, Asheville, Wilmington and Winston-Salem.
