What More Whole-Person Care Means for You
-
More Access
With the addition of 129 beds to our new hospital, we'll bring high-acuity care closer to home, reducing travel time and increasing access to advanced services for families across Buncombe, Graham, Madison and Yancey counties.
-
More Innovation
As part of a nationally recognized health system, we’re bringing more leading-edge technology, research and clinical excellence to Western North Carolina.
-
More Compassion
We’re rooted in our mission to extend Christ's healing ministry. That means treating every person with dignity, respect and love in body, mind and spirit.
-
More Choice
We’re answering the community’s call for more health care options. Our presence introduces meaningful competition that empowers people to choose the care that best fits their needs.

Make Your Voice Heard at Our Listening Sessions
As we prepare to submit a certificate of need application to the State of North Carolina to expand health care access and services in our region, we're taking this project to the people of Buncombe, Graham, Madison and Yancey counties. Over the coming months, we'll be holding listening sessions. We invite you to participate in these conversations to make your voice heard about the kind of health care that will meet the needs of your family, friends and neighbors. Conversations in town halls, county libraries, fire departments and other locations will give you the opportunity to share how expanding the scope and scale of the health care choices and competition in our region will empower you when it comes to your health and wellness.
You'll also have the chance to share your thoughts with the State. At these listening sessions, our AdventHealth team members will provide access to the public comment submission portal for the CON application.
Dates will be available as these sessions are scheduled.
About Our Certificate of Need Application
We didn’t design this hospital in a boardroom. We built it from the voices of the people we serve. Our team traveled across Buncombe, Graham, Madison and Yancey counties, listening to community leaders, nonprofit organizations and families who shared their hopes and concerns for the future of health care in Western North Carolina. What we heard was clear: Our communities want more access to high-quality care, more options for where and how they receive it and more trust in the system that serves them.
Our certificate of need application reflects that vision. The 129 beds we're requesting will be in addition to the 93 beds the State has already approved for the AdventHealth hospital that will be located near US 25/70 in Weaverville, North Carolina. The addition of these 129 beds will expand the care in the hospital to include 13 labor and delivery rooms with a dedicated C-section suite. It also includes more inpatient beds with 30 beds in our medical/surgical unit, 16 intensive care unit beds, 12 PCU beds, a 12-bed emergency department with two trauma rooms, and imaging and lab services.
This hospital is more than a building. It’s a promise. A promise to deliver whole-person care that meets the needs of body, mind and spirit. A promise to bring meaningful choice and healthy competition to a region that has asked for both. And a promise to be a partner in your health journey, every step of the way.

Investing in Our Communities
In 2024, AdventHealth Hendersonville dedicated more than $55 million in community benefit efforts to Western North Carolina through charity care, health research and support of local nonprofits that are tackling challenging issues like mental health, substance misuse, food insecurity and safe and affordable housing.
As a tax-exempt, faith-based organization, our financial resources don't go to shareholders. We invest them back into the communities we serve by:
- Supporting community partners to address mental and behavioral health issues
- Increasing our investments in improving community health
- Pioneering new treatments and investing in the latest technologies
- Recruiting leading physicians and training future health care leaders
We look forward to expanding our role in the community through our new hospital.
