UNC Health Lenoir News

UNC Health Lenoir is proud to announce a new partnership with Wake Emergency Physicians, PA (WEPPA) to provide staffing and clinical leadership for the hospital’s Emergency Department.

Whether it’s a high school athlete, a weekend runner, or someone getting back on their feet after an injury, UNC Health Lenoir’s Orthopedics and Sports Medicine team has become a trusted destination for advanced, local care.

UNC Health Lenoir and the Community Council for the Arts will host The Art of Healing: Celebrating Women’s Health & Wellness on Thursday, Oct. 2, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at the Arts Center, 400 N. Queen St. The evening will feature five speakers, health information tables, door prizes, light refreshments and giveaways.

UNC Health Lenoir proudly welcomed eight outstanding individuals into its prestigious Hall of Honor during a ceremony celebrating their extraordinary service to healthcare and the community.

UNC Health is the first healthcare institution in the nation to launch an Obstetrics and Gynecology Fellowship dedicated to rural women’s health. The new UNC School of Medicine program’s intent is not only to train physicians to provide high-quality care in rural settings but also to make it easier for women who live in North Carolina’s “maternity care deserts” to access the medical care they desperately need.

UNC Health Lenoir has once again been nationally recognized for its commitment to high-quality care, earning four prestigious awards from the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® initiative for excellence in the treatment of heart failure, stroke, and resuscitation, with an emphasis on reducing rural health disparities.

The 2024 Lenoir Hospital Foundation Superball Golf Tournament was a huge success.

UNC Health Lenoir celebrated its outstanding team members during the annual Service Award Banquet on June 10th, recognizing 74 employees for their unwavering dedication, with milestones ranging from five to an exceptional 50 years of service.
