History

UNC Medical Center was first proposed in 1948 by Governor Robert Gregg Cherry when picking a location for the UNC School of Medicine. A 400-bed hospital was proposed to be built next to the medical school, and ultimately completed in 1952. [9] The hospital only consisted of North Carolina Memorial Hospital until the new additions of the medical center. [10]

North Carolina Memorial Hospital

The first hospital in what later became known as UNC Hospitals and the UNC Health Care System was North Carolina Memorial Hospital, which opened on Sept. 2, 1952. [11] North Carolina Memorial Hospital is the largest hospital in the medical center featuring 503 beds. [12] The hospital also includes an adult Level 1 Trauma Center, Burn Center, and Stroke Center that treat over 70,000 patients annually. [13]

In 2019 it was announced that a new 7 story, 335,000 ft2 tower would be built on the UNC medical center campus at a cost of $257 million. [14] The new addition is set to house 24 operating rooms and dedicates 2 floors to 56 new ICU beds. [15] The addition will also include reception areas on each floor and offices for staff. [16] [17] [18]

Controversy

The Joint Commission has put UNC Medical Center's accreditation status on probation after finding several problems with the medical center. The Joint Commission has said that problems include insufficient suicide screening assessments and lack of suicide resistant furniture in psychiatric health areas. The hospital has responded by issuing a statement that there was "no finding of any immediate threats to public health and safety." [19] [20] [21]

North Carolina Children's Hospital(NCCH) is a pediatric acute care hospital located within UNC Medical Center in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The hospital has 158 beds. [25] It is affiliated with The University of North Carolina School of Medicine, and is a member of UNC Health. The hospital provides comprehensive pediatric specialties and subspecialties to infants, children, teens, and young adults aged 0–21 [26] [27] throughout North Carolina. North Carolina Children's Hospital features the only pediatric Level 1 Trauma Center in the region, and 1 of 3 in the state. [6] [28]

History

The two buildings; the women's and children's buildings were unveiled on September 8, 2001, [29] and officially opened in early 2002. [30]

Patient Care Units

In addition to the units at the neighboring adult hospital, UNC Children's has their own pediatric units for patients age 0-21. [22]

Heart surgeries

In May 2019, it was revealed children with certain heart conditions had been dying at higher than expected rates after undergoing heart surgery at the hospital. [31] The concern was raised in 2017 by multiple cardiologists employed at the hospital. The cardiologists repeatedly raised concerns about the cardiac surgery program and even began referring patients to other hospitals in the region. The cardiologists were concerned that the hospital was taking on cases that it could not handle. [32] When the hospital released their mortality rates, the results showed that the hospital had a higher cardio surgery death rate than nearly all of the other children's hospitals nationwide. [33] In July, the North Carolina secretary of health called for the investigation into the allegations raised by The New York Times . [34] [35] The hospital suspended its most complex heart surgeries to help restore confidence with the program; [36] [37] [38] questions were also raised about the role of Dr. William L. Roper, then the head of UNC Health Care. [39] The hospital made changes such as firing administrators and changing doctors. [40] State and federal inspectors have since confirmed that the hospital's cardio program is very different than years ago. The hospital has since cautiously resumed complex pediatric heart surgeries. [41] [42]

Rankings

The hospital is ranked nationally in 9 specialties and ranked #2 in North Carolina. [43] [44]
