DURHAM and WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Duke Health and Novant Health are working together to develop new campuses across North Carolina that will expand access to affordable, high-quality care. The two organizations share a commitment to developing novel partnerships to improve health outcomes for more communities across the region and provide an exceptional patient experience for all.
“We’re taking bold steps to bring the excellence and innovation of Duke Health to more patients, in more ways, across more communities,” said Craig Albanese, MD, chief executive officer of Duke University Health System, “and we’re energized by the possibilities of what we can accomplish in collaboration with Novant Health for communities across our region.”
The two organizations believe collaboration is the way forward for reaching new heights and helping their team members and patients succeed.
“We have a shared vision for what healthcare can look like, and our collaboration means the communities we serve together will benefit from our combined focus on quality, innovation, and excellence in patient care and experience,” said Carl S. Armato, CPA, MBA, president and chief executive officer, Novant Health.
Patients and community members can expect many benefits from these sites, including improved access to care, enhanced specialty services, and telehealth and virtual care options.
Quality is core to this collaboration, and both organizations share a commitment to high-quality care for North Carolina communities. Clinicians from Novant Health and Duke Health will be available in new locations, increasing access to both primary care and advanced specialty treatments. More locations mean shorter wait times and more appointment availability. The collaboration will also explore ways to empower patients with more opportunities to connect with specialists virtually.
The organizations expect construction for the first sites to begin this summer and fall, with each site to open approximately 18 months after the start of construction. Additional updates will be shared as the collaboration progresses in the coming months.
