Earlier this year, the state medical facilities plan determined that four counties will have a combined projected need for 67 additional acute care beds in Buncombe County by 2024.

Three healthcare systems are being considered, and executives presented proposals during a public hearing Aug. 12 in Asheville, N.C. 

  • Altamonte Springs, Fla.-based Advent Health, which operates a hospital in Hendersonville, N.C.
  • Nashville, Tenn.-based HCA Healthcare, which operates Mission Hospital System in Asheville.
  • Winston Salem, N.C.-based Novant Health, which operates hospitals in parts of Central North Carolina. 

The three applications are under review by the health department, which could take up to five months.
