PITTSBORO, N.C., Nov. 17, 2023 ~ UNC Health has taken a major step forward in its commitment to providing state-of-the-art medical services to the residents of Chatham County and surrounding areas with the acquisition of a 43-acre parcel within Chatham Park.

The parcel, located just south of the US 64 Bypass and the Chatham Park Way transportation corridors, can accommodate up to 700,000 square feet of medical care facilities. This will complement existing UNC Health facilities in Chatham Park and the UNC Health Chatham Hospital in Siler City.

Janet Hadar, President of UNC Hospitals, expressed her delight at being part of the growing Chatham Park community. "We've built a substantial presence at Chatham Park and are delighted to be a part of the growing Chatham Park community as we take this opportunity to expand much-needed medical care for that region," she said.

Jeff Strickler, President of Chatham Hospital, echoed Hadar's remarks. "We believe that our presence within Chatham Park not only elevates the standard of healthcare in the region, but also contributes positively to the overall wellness and vitality of the community," he said.
