Carolinas Medical Center recently announced plans to expand the Pineville branch of its sprawling medical centers in Charlotte, North Carolina. The center was recently expanded to house a new medical office tower and parking deck.
The new expansion, which will be completed in 2013, will be the hospital's largest construction project, according to a press release submitted by Carolinas Medical Center. This expansion is part of a plan to turn what used to be Mercy Hospital South into a major tertiary care center. A tertiary care center houses specialied doctors who take patients referred by their primary doctors. So, if you have a heart problem, you won't have to go all the way to uptown Charlotte to see the heart specialist.
The hospital is located at I-485 and Highway 51 which makes it accessable for many residents living in South Charlotte. This is great for people living in the fast-growing areas of Pineville, Ballantyne, Indian Trail, Waxhaw, and Lake Wylie.
The hospital center also plans to build a major Health Plex in Kannapolis. It will be 24,000 square feet and ten treatment bays. It will be another option for emergency care in North Charlotte to relieve the pressure on NorthEast Medical Center and make it easier to get care in Concord and Lake Norman.
