Raleigh, NC, hospitals to expand at bases

Both Rex Healthcare and WakeMed Health & Hospitals are plotting big growth plans in Raleigh, NC. Rex Healthcare is planning a $150 million outpatient facility across from its main campus in West Raleigh, NC. At the same time, WakeMed Health & Hospitals is moving forward with plans to build a $99 million inpatient facility at its main campus in East Raleigh. Both projects come as the hospitals develop strategies to manage services while their facilities become strapped for space as the area's growing population demands more healthcare.
