💙 We’re proud to share that the UNC Health Nash Women’s Center has been nationally recognized—again.

For the second time, the UNC Health Nash Women’s Center has earned “High Performing” for Maternity Care from U.S. News & World Report—the highest distinction awarded in its Best Hospitals for Maternity Care study. We were also recognized with the Maternity Care Access designation, honoring hospitals that provide high-quality care in regions that would otherwise face limited access to maternity services.

These recognitions reflect the compassion, expertise, and teamwork of the Women’s Center team and reaffirm our commitment to providing exceptional care for mothers and babies—close to home, when it matters most.

Congratulations to our incredible caregivers who continue to raise the bar for maternity care in our community. 💫

Patients and visitors,
We are closely monitoring respiratory illness activity in our community. At this time, UNC Health Nash has not implemented any visitor restrictions.

Masks are encouraged and available for patients, visitors, and team members who choose to wear one, and we continue to follow our standard infection prevention and safety practices to protect everyone in our care.

Thank you for your understanding. We’ll share updates if changes occur.

🚧 Construction Update – Temporary Parking Impact 🚧

As part of ongoing work for our new inpatient tower, select parking spaces in front of the Heart Center will be temporarily blocked off beginning Friday, January 2, 2026. This closure supports a scheduled water line replacement serving the new tower.

Work is expected to begin the week of January 5 and continue through January 16. All construction activity will remain within a fenced construction area.

We ask that you please avoid the fenced area for your safety. Ample parking will still be available in the Heart Center lot. Aside from this temporary impact, patients and staff should not experience any disruptions.

We appreciate your patience as we continue building for the future of care at UNC Health Nash.

We loved spending time at Red Oak Elementary School as part of their STEM program and supporting their journey toward STEM certification! 🍎🏫

Our UNC Health Nash team brought hands-on learning to life through interactive stations led by colleagues from the Emergency Department, Heart Center, Infection Prevention, Nutrition, and Quality. From science and safety to heart health and wellness, students had the chance to explore how STEM connects to real-world healthcare careers.

We’re grateful to Red Oak Elementary for welcoming us and inspiring curiosity, creativity, and learning in the next generation. A big thank-you to our incredible Nash team members who made this experience so meaningful for the students!

Some partnerships go far beyond blueprints and beams—they become part of the heart of a place. 💙

We are deeply grateful to the Rodgers–The Christman Company joint venture team for this incredibly thoughtful gift to our Labor & Delivery team and the families they care for. These teddy bears may be small, but the meaning behind them is anything but.

Juan Schmidt’s story reminds us why this work matters. To know that someone who was born here, welcomed all four of his children here, and is now helping build the future of UNC Health Nash chose to give back in such a personal way is truly moving. It’s a beautiful reminder that hospitals are more than buildings—they are places where life begins, families grow, and memories are made.

Thank you to our construction partners for honoring our caregivers, celebrating new beginnings, and for building with both skill and heart. We’re proud to be shaping the future of care together—for today’s families and for generations to come. 🧸✨

UPDATE: This has now been resolved.

Original post:
We are currently experiencing a regional carrier issue that may be impacting your ability to call into UNC Health Nash Hospital and surrounding clinics via mobile devices and landlines.

Until this issue is resolved, we encourage you to use your MyChart patient portal for communication and non-urgent needs.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work with the regional carrier to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

What started as inspiration from the construction outside our windows turned into something truly special. 💙

During this year’s Lights of Love Staff Tree Decorating Contest, teams across UNC Health Nash came together to celebrate the season while supporting patients through the UNC Health Nash Foundation.

Funds raised help provide essential support—from clothing and medications to car seats, utility assistance, and more—all at times when patients need it most.

Congratulations to our Health Information Management department, whose “Christmas Under Construction” tree earned both Best Overall and People’s Choice, raising the most funds for patient assistance.

Thank you to every department, volunteer, and donor who helped make this meaningful tradition possible. 🎄✨

If you’re feeling inspired, you can still support the UNC Health Nash Foundation and help make a difference for patients in need. Watch the video below to see how creativity shined through every tree!

Some moments stop you right in your tracks—the kind that fill a care space with quiet joy and remind you just how much love this season can hold.

Today, local music legends Chandler James Music and Meredith Davis Johnson Music visited the Danny Talbott Cancer Center and offered a gift we won’t soon forget: breathtaking Christmas arrangements that wrapped our patients, families, and care teams in comfort and hope.

We are deeply grateful for Chandler and Meredith—not only for sharing their extraordinary talent, but for giving their time so generously and filling the center with light during a season that can feel heavy for many.

If you feel inspired to uplift your community members this season, you can support patients at the Danny Talbott Cancer Center through the UNC Health Nash Foundation, where every gift makes a meaningful difference close to home.
