AdventHealth has revealed plans to build a state-of-the-art multispecialty hospital in Weaverville, Buncombe County. The location, situated off US 25/70 west of I-26, aims to address the need for additional hospital beds in the region.
Need for Additional Hospital Beds in the Area

Strategic Location for Accessibility
The choice of Weaverville as the hospital site ensures easy access to healthcare services. Brandon Nudd, President and CEO of AdventHealth Hendersonville, emphasized the importance of the new facility’s location.
