AdventHealth is moving forward with a new hospital in Weaverville, and community support is needed to expand its impact.

The system has applied for a Certificate of Need (CON) for 129 additional beds (in addition to the 92-bed hospital already planned). These beds are critical to expanding care and services for local families.

Here’s how you can help:

  • Support AdventHealth’s CON application
  • Submit a letter of support to the state
  • Help ensure access to quality care in Weaverville
