WNC Deserves More, and We Can Build It Together

At AdventHealth, we believe everyone deserves access to compassionate, whole-person care close to home. The first phase of AdventHealth Weaverville is underway — expanding access to emergent and essential hospital services for families across Western North Carolina.

Every step forward reflects what we continue to hear from our neighbors: WNC wants more high-quality, faith-based care that treats the whole person in body, mind and spirit. We remain committed to building thoughtfully, listening carefully and partnering with the community.

What More Whole-Person Care Means for You

  • More Access

    If approved by the State, additional beds would expand access to high-acuity, whole-person care and bring more advanced services closer to home for families across Buncombe, Graham, Madison and Yancey counties.

  • More Innovation

    As part of AdventHealth’s nationally recognized faith-based, not-for-profit health system, we are bringing more advanced technology, clinical expertise and compassionate care to WNC. We'll continue expanding services based on what our community needs most.

  • More Compassion

    We are rooted in our mission to extend Christ’s healing ministry, caring for each person with compassion and respect for body, mind and spirit.

    Healing goes beyond treatment. It centers on people feeling seen, heard and supported.

  • More Choice

    Choice strengthens communities by encouraging innovation, improving access and keeping care centered on the people it serves. We’re responding to the community’s call by expanding access to care that aligns with their needs and their vision for whole-person health.

About Our Certificate of Need Application

We believe Western North Carolina deserves more access to high-quality care close to home. The vision for AdventHealth Weaverville was not designed in a boardroom. It's being shaped by the voices of the people we serve.

What you've seen in renderings and what is taking shape as we begin construction is based on what our teams have heard from you as they travel across Buncombe, Graham, Madison and Yancey counties. Listening to community leaders, nonprofit partners and families about what they need most from their health care system has brought us to this point. And we will continue to shape this new hospital on the clear message you are sharing: people want expanded services, advanced care and trusted health partners closer to home.

AdventHealth's commitment to serving Western North Carolina remains unchanged. We are deeply grateful for the community’s continued support throughout this journey, and we are fully invested in advocating for the people of Buncombe, Graham, Madison and Yancey counties.

Given recent concerns about health care access and quality in our region, we do not believe the decision to award additional beds to other health systems is in our community's best interest, and will have profound impacts. We are evaluating appeal options that honor the community's needs and voice. Phase one of AdventHealth Weaverville is currently under construction. Additional phases of inpatient beds are vital to the vision of offering advanced trauma and tertiary care closer to home.

Reach out to our team today to stay engaged and help shape the future of care in our region.

  • Recruiting leading physicians and training future health care leaders

We look forward to expanding our role in the community through our new hospital.
