Where you work is as important as where you play. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Western North Carolina is not only a beautiful place, but a dynamic region filled with natural resources, a variety of cultural and educational opportunities, and some of the highest quality health care in the country. Physicians and medical professionals have settled here, drawn by the exceptional beauty and quality of life in Hendersonville.

Hendersonville is unique in having the feel of small town America, yet is geographically situated within convenient driving distance of the urban areas of Asheville, NC, Greenville, SC, and only a few hours from Atlanta, GA and Charlotte, NC. Nature is always close by with nearly twenty national, state, county and city parks, recreational areas and forests, many within of just outside the city limits of Hendersonville. Henderson County is ideally located for exploring festivals, recreational activities, historical sites, golf courses, family activities, and a variety of restaurants  with high quality public schools and private schools. 

UNC Health Pardee is a not-for-profit health care system that was founded in 1953 and is managed by UNC Health Care. It is the first hospital in the Carolinas to be accredited with the International Organization for Standardization for quality health care standards.

We are a licensed for 222 acute care beds and are the second-largest employer in Henderson County. We have several locations separate from our main campus, including a comprehensive physician practice network, multiple urgent care locations and five orthopedic clinics.
