VIA Health Partners recently announced that the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has approved its application for a certificate of need (CON) to develop a new hospice home care office in Cumberland County.
The decision authorizes VIA Health Partners to expand its hospice and palliative care services into Cumberland County, meeting a need identified in the 2025 State Medical Facilities Plan. The approved project represents a $85,000 capital investment and follows VIA’s longstanding mission to ensure that families facing serious illness have access to high-quality, patient-centered care in their own communities.
“This approval marks an important milestone for VIA Health Partners and for families in Cumberland County,” said Peter Brunnick, president and CEO of VIA Health Partners, in a press release. “Our organization has served patients across the Carolinas for 47 years, and we are honored to bring our model of expert, compassionate care to a new region of the state.”
VIA Health Partners is committed to providing culturally competent care, ensuring that hospice and palliative care services are accessible to medically underserved populations throughout Cumberland County.
The conditional approval outlines a timetable for implementation that includes opening the new office by spring 2026, with services expected to begin in April 2026.
VIA Health Partners is an independent, community-based not-for-profit provider of hospice and serious illness care, serving patients and families in thirty-eight counties across the Carolinas. Learn more at www.viahp.org.
