Duke Health and Novant Health said they will work together to develop new locations across the state to improve health outcomes. No specific projects or financial details were mentioned in a press release issued today. The partnership represents an unexpected connection between the state's second-largest hospital operator (Novant had about $10 billion in annual revenue last year) and third-biggest (Duke had $6.8 billion of revenue in fiscal 2024.) The organizations said construction for the first sites would begin this summer, with the facilities opening about 18 months later.
