The 133-bed Northern Regional Hospital has created a growth and community engagement initiative that supports its 1,000 employees and residents to pursue advanced education. The system also invests over $350,000 annually in healthcare academic pursuits for employees and students. In 2020, it established a leadership academy, with 40 employees having graduated from the six-month program. Last year, the system opened an additional family medicine clinic and a new multispecialty medical office building. In 2024, the system received the Pinnacle Award from the North Carolina State Board of Community Colleges and was named for the fourth straight year among the Best Places To Work by the Triad Business Journal.
