With a management deal already in place in Henderson County, they’re pushing to fill a critical gap in high-level care. Meanwhile, Mission Hospital snagged a major state bed allocation despite past federal warnings, sparking local backlash — and now UNC Health is applying for a separate batch through the Certificate of Need process. Novant Health is also in the mix, seeking 20 beds. A hearing is set for August, with final decisions due by December — as the region’s healthcare race heats up, UNC Health vows to expand access and give Asheville residents more local options.
