UNC Health Care Could Partner With Nash Health Care

UNC Health Care System in Chapel Hill, N.C., is considering a partnership with Rocky Mount, N.C.-based Nash Health Care, according to a Triangle Business Journal report.

A UNC spokesman confirmed the system could partner with Nash, according to the report. UNC has been expanding through affiliations and mergers with other healthcare organizations for the past few years. For example, earlier this year, Caldwell Memorial Hospital in Lenoir, N.C., merged with the system.

David Strong, COO for system affiliations at UNC, has said increasing in size will result in cost savings for the provider and its patients, according to the report.

Nash initially sent a request for proposal to five health systems, including UNC, back in June.
