History
In 1977, Humana opened Greensboro Hospital on 801 Green Valley Road in Greensboro, North Carolina. [1] It was the city's first for-profit hospital. Charles Kuralt was the keynote speaker for the hospital's dedication. [1] The hospital's name changed to Humana Health-Greensboro in 1982, when thirty more beds were added. [1] At the time, Humana opened its MedFirst clinics, which resulted in several doctors leaving in protest. [1] Occupancy declined to the point that the top floor was closed. [1]
In 1985, a women's health unit opened but did not include obstetrics. [1] [2] Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital took over in 1988 and returned the Greensboro Hospital name. [1] [2] After renovation, the hospital became Women's Hospital of Greensboro in 1990, the state's first free-standing hospital dedicated to women and newborns. [2] [1] This maternity and women's care hospital had 134 beds. [2]
After the birth of over 150,000 babies, [2] the hospital closed on February 23, 2020. [3] All of its services moved to the Cone Health Women's & Children's Center at Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital. [3]
The hospital facility was reopened in April 2020, serving only COVID-19 patients, with a capacity of 116 beds. [4] On March 3, 2021, the hospital discharged its last patient [5] after serving 4,700 patients in all. [2]
In a deal announced September 1, 2021, Cone Health traded the property to Deep River Partners in exchange for a lot on Green Valley Road in Greensboro near where Cone Health had another facility. The pandemic had delayed Deep River's plans. [2] In January 2022, the former hospital building was torn down. [1]
