Cape Fear Valley Health system announces $110M expansion

By Staff Report, posted 4 years ago

Cape Fear Valley Health System will add a $110M expansion to its flagship hospital which will add 100 beds to the facility's capacity. 

Construction will begin this fall and will build two additional floors to the Valley Pavilion section of the medical center. Little Diversified Architectural Consulting and Rogers Builders, Inc. will be heading the construction process.

There will be no closure or shutdown of the entrances to the pavilion. 

"We recognized that we need this expansion to meet the growing needs of our community and to provide meaningful assistance to reduce delays in our Emergency Department," CEO Michael Nagowski said. "We expect that this will dramatically improve wait times in the ER."

The expansion is expected to be completed by Fall 2024. The Health Pavilion expansion will make the building seven stories and will call for the inclusion of two rooftop helipads.

"Our plan is that one of the helipads will be structured to accept Blackhawk helicopters," said Nagowski. "We want to make sure we have complete readiness if it was needed because of our proximity to Fort Bragg."

About 40 percent of the new beds will be designed as ICU beds while the remaining beds will be designated for medical/surgery inpatient and observation. 

This will be the first major expansion to the main campus' central building since 2008 when the Valley Pavilion opened.
