New Hanover Regional Medical Center has purchased 5 acres next to Nunnelee Pediatric Specialty Clinics. The land in the Autumn Hall area will be used for the construction of an emergency department and has the potential to be a location for other services.
The emergency department at Autumn Hall is planned as a replacement for the emergency department at the Orthopedic Hospital on Wrightsville Avenue, which will continue to operate until the replacement is built.
The timing for construction of the new emergency department has not yet been determined.
