In a significant development for pediatric healthcare in North Carolina, UNC Health and Duke Health have announced a collaborative effort to construct the state's first standalone children's hospital. The new facility, named NC Children’s, will be situated on a sprawling 100-acre campus in the Triangle region, designed specifically to meet the unique needs of young patients.
This groundbreaking initiative aims to enhance the quality of care for children across the state by providing a dedicated environment tailored to their medical and emotional needs.
