Baptist appeals Novant Health's Clemmons, NC, hospital

Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center has appealed a state decision to grant conditional approval to Novant Health for a new hospital in Clemmons, NC. In December, North Carolina regulators conditionally approved Novant's plans for a 50-bed, $96 million hospital in Clemmons. State officials in August had previously granted conditional approval to Wake Forest Baptist to build a new 50-bed, $100 million replacement for Davie County Hospital less than five miles away in Advance.
