"I stand by the statement that there is no greater success story in Craven County than CarolinaEast Health System. From the 100 bed Craven County Hospital in 1963, to the multi-facility, top-ranked organization that touches over 400,000 lives per year that it is today. We believe this affiliation with UNC Health will continue to grow our legacy and help make Eastern NC a place that people love to call home," said Leggett.
Since 2014, CarolinaEast and UNC Health Care have partnered to make world-class cancer treatment available in Eastern North Carolina. This collaboration gave CarolinaEast access to the latest advances in prevention, detection and treatment coming from UNC Cancer Care—a top-tier comprehensive cancer center.
The 80,000 square feet SECU Comprehensive Cancer Center at CarolinaEast Medical Center opened its doors in January 2020 and its first year saw just over 34,000 patient visits, some of which may have had to travel elsewhere for the quality cancer care received right in Eastern NC. The Cancer Center currently has 262 clinical trial participants enrolled, made possible in large part due to the collaboration with UNC Health and the ability to leverage the resources of a large academic health system.
UNC Health and CarolinaEast share a commitment to improving rural healthcare in southeastern North Carolina and envision further improving access to high-quality healthcare close to home for the region. The collaboration will also increase primary and specialty services while growing access to an expanded network of care in the surrounding community.
Joining UNC Health will help CarolinaEast strengthen rural healthcare throughout the Eastern Region. This will take place through enhancements of CarolinaEast's medical capabilities and expanding the range of services CarolinaEast offers today.
