UNC Health announced the opening of a 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 UNC Hospitals Hillsborough Campus is an extension of UNC Medical Center in Chapel Hill and a home for several UNC specialty programs. These include family medicine, geriatrics, physical medicine and rehabilitation (which is moving from Chapel Hill to Hillsborough), and many elective surgical programs, including joint replacement, spine, ophthalmology, urology, benign gynecology, and general surgery.
