Birth and Women’s Care of Fayetteville will join FirstHealth of the Carolinas on Feb. 23, 2026. The practice becomes FirstHealth OB/GYN-Cape Center, continuing to offer compassionate, comprehensive care for women at every stage of life.
Andre Hall, M.D., and Kelly Helton, FNP, will remain with the practice, continuing their commitment to delivering high-quality care to women across the region. The clinic will remain at 3601 Cape Center Drive in Fayetteville, and the phone number, (910) 484-3101, will also remain the same. Patients’ medical records will remain at the office, ensuring continuity of care.
“We are excited to welcome Dr. Hall and nurse practitioner Kelly Helton to the FirstHealth family,” said Dan Barnes, D.O., president of FirstHealth Physician Group, in a press release. “Their commitment to compassionate, high-quality women’s care aligns closely with our core purpose, To Care for People, and support women and families throughout every stage of life.”
The practice will continue to offer obstetrics and gynecology services, as well as primary care and weight management services.
“Joining FirstHealth marks an exciting next chapter for our practice,” said Dr. Hall in a press release. “We look forward to continuing to care for women and families with the support of a high-quality, community-focused health system.”
To support a smooth transition, the practice will operate with limited services from Feb. 23 through March 16, while staff are trained on FirstHealth’s electronic health record, billing and scheduling systems.
“While change can bring questions, our commitment to our patients remains the same—delivering the care you trust, from the same providers and team you know, now strengthened by the added support of FirstHealth,” added Dr. Hall in a press release.
