About WakeMed's Proposal:

On August 15, WakeMed submitted a certificate of need (CON) application to the North Carolina Division of Health Service Regulation (DHSR) to add 41 acute care beds at North Healthplex. A decision is expected by January 31, 2009. Acquiring these beds would allow WakeMed to transition North Healthplex into Wake County’s first and only full-service women’s hospital. The hospital would offer birthing, women’s services, and surgery, in addition to its existing emergency, imaging and laboratory services. The hospital would include 61 total acute care beds, which includes the 20 for which we have already received CON approval.
