This $110 million expansion to Cape Fear Valley Health System's flagship hospital, which will add 100 beds to the facility’s capacity.

This expansion is part of the health system’s long-term master planning and will help reduce delays in the emergency department. The complex construction includes adding two stories above a structure flanked on one side by a busy ER entrance and on the other side by an equally busy main hospital entrance. Upon completion, 40 percent of the new beds will be designed as ICU beds, with the remaining beds designated for medical/surgery inpatient and observation.
