About Us
Nestled in the heart of central North Carolina, Central Carolina Hospital is a 137-bed acute care hospital, with nearly 200 providers and 525 employees.
Central Carolina Hospital has been providing quality, compassionate healthcare for the residents of Lee County at its current location since 1981. But our roots run much deeper than that, dating all the way to 1909, when the first Central Carolina Hospital opened its doors. We are neighbors caring for our neighbors, friends and family members, and we deliver personalized, compassionate care with a hometown touch.
