Cone Health is moving forward with plans to build a hospital in Mebane
The $250 million facility will have 46 beds and is expected to open by early 2030
In a news release, Cone officials said an appeal related to the Cone Health hospital’s Certificate of Need has been dismissed. Documents show appeals were filed by Duke Health and Novant Health
Cone Health officials say the system is expected to receive its Certificate of Need — a state-required approval designed to ensure the new facility addresses community needs — in the coming days
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services approved Cone Health’s proposal for the hospital, beating out a joint proposal from Duke Health and Novant Health in September
Health officials say the area has seen a 23% growth in population since 2020 — one of the fastest growing in the Triad
