Cone Health and Duke Health appear to be squaring off, competing to win state approval for building a 46-bed hospital in Mebane.
Each has filed an application with the Healthcare Planning and Certificate of Need Section of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services using the exact same “project description”: “Develop a new hospital with no more than 46 acute care beds pursuant to the 2025 SMFP [State Medical Facilities Plan] need determination.”
As it turns out, each health care company filed its Mebane plans the same day, Tuesday, April 15.
