In 2022, North Carolina’s Department of Health and Human Services approved new hospital beds to be built in Western North Carolina for the first time in more than a decade. According to the formula the state uses annually to determine which areas require expanded medical services, Buncombe and its neighboring counties were due for 67 more acute care beds. That determination kicked off a competitive application process to determine which health system was best positioned to receive the certificat
