Novant Takes Over Northern Hospital

Novant Health just snagged approval to take over Northern Hospital in Surry County — a historic move hailed as a lifeline for the community. With 45 hospitals across three states, Novant plans to fold Northern into its UVA Health System, expanding access to care in a region where healthcare options are scarce. This marks the first time Northern has been part of such an acquisition, and commissioners call it a “historic day” for the county. Meanwhile, Atrium Health’s new administrator for Wake Forest Medical Center praised the community’s collaborative spirit. Northern, licensed for 111 beds and already innovating with patient care tools like its 2019 “care-navigation” site, is set to join Novant’s network — a move seen as essential for its future.
