FAYETTEVILLE – Cape Fear Valley Medical Center will expand its adult Emergency Department into space currently occupied by the Children’s Emergency Department. The move will take effect midnight Sunday, Aug. 7.
Moving the children’s ED enables the adult Emergency Department to expand and improve flow, thereby decreasing wait times. Cape Fear Valley Medical Center’s Emergency Department is consistently one of the Top 100 busiest in the nation.
“Our Emergency Department is on track to see more than 130,000 patient visits this year,” said Mike Nagowski, Cape Fear Valley CEO. “That’s an increase of more than 7 percent over last year.”
As a result of the expansion, the Children’s Emergency Department will move into newly renovated space on the Melrose Road side of the medical center. The expanded Children’s Emergency Department will have 17 rooms, two resuscitation rooms and four observation rooms.
Free parking will be available in the Melrose parking lot in front of the new Children’s Emergency Department.
