The hospitals and services that are part of New Hanover Health Network have long-standing roots in Southeastern North Carolina, offering quality care close to home for generations of families through all stages of life.

The network includes three general hospitals, New Hanover Regional Medical Center and Cape Fear Hospital in Wilmington and Pender Memorial Hospital in Burgaw.

In 2003, New Hanover Regional Medical Center became the 70th hospital in the world to receive the Magnet Award for Nursing Excellence.  This designation is the gold standard in nursing care given to those hospitals that meet or exceed rigorous standards of care and professional performance.  It is the highest recognition awarded by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

Also in 2003, NHRMC received a score of 97 on its three-year survey by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. 

New Hanover Health Network is the ninth largest health care system in the state with a dedicated team of 4,700employees, 490 physicians and 760 active volunteers.
