Novant Health Adjusts Amid Water Crisis | Winston–Salem News

A major water main break in Forsyth County is forcing Novant Health to shift clinics to virtual appointments and pause elective surgeries at several locations, including Forsyth Medical Center and Hawthorne Outpatient Surgery Center. While emergency care continues, visitor limits are in place—generally one essential support person per patient—with exceptions for NICU, labor/delivery, and patients with disabilities. Multiple specialty centers, including cancer, cardiology, and rehab, are affected as staff work to conserve water and restore systems. Novant Health is using backup water sources and prioritizing patient and staff safety, urging those needing care to still seek it out—and offering virtual options where possible. Updates will follow as repairs progress. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
