Novant will present plans for North Carolina hospital during forum

Novant Health officials will host a community forum to present their plans for a 47-bed acute care hospital in Holly Springs, NC. Local residents will have an opportunity to ask questions about the proposed $110 million project. Mark Billings, president of Novant's Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte, and other officials from the hospital chain will be at the forum. Novant's bid to build a Holly Springs hospital has run into competition from Wake County's two largest hospitals, WakeMed and Rex Healthcare. Both have announced separate expansion plans for elsewhere in the county.
