Duke Foundation leader says rural NC needs more hospitals - Today in Triangle History

A daily look at some of The News & Observer’s headlines on Nov. 13 in past years. On this day in 1926 , The News & Observer published a story about the Duke Foundation chair advocating for having money collected by churches go not toward building new church buildings but building a hospital in Durham County. W.S. Rankin spoke at Trinity Methodist Church in Durham, sharing his concerns that the church was “becoming so absorbed in the formalities” that it was not creating resources to help physically ailing people. Rankin shared stories about visiting poor people on the county’s outskirts who couldn’t afford medical diagnoses and didn’t live near hospitals. He said although North Carolina churches had been building hospitals, there needed to be more in other regions. “They have built them in Winston-Salem, Charlotte, and other places where half of the beds are vacant the year round, while in other places the suffering continues without relief.” Charlotte Speedway manager considers yearly races Also in 1926, Charlotte Speedway manager C.W. Roberts announced that the facility was considering hosting events just once a year. A race held the day before had 7,500 attendees, numbers much smaller than the usual turnout. Roberts

WakeMed agreed to cap future price increases in Atrium merger. But who will enforce it?

WakeMed agreed to cap potential price increases in its merger with Atrium Health, but the actual language around those price caps hasn’t been released, leaving the public in the dark about how they could work. One UNC professor says questions remain about how those caps would be enforced and who they would apply to. And Rob Stephens, organizing director at the patient-advocacy group The Patients Union, said how the caps would actually function is unclear. “Patients deserve better than vague promises,” Stephens said in an interview Tuesday. Gov. Josh Stein’s office dropped oppositio n to the merger after securing a commitment to price caps from both nonprofit hospital systems. What do the price caps actually do? According to a Wake County news release, both Atrium and WakeMed agreed “for five years following the closing date, the negotiated reimbursement rate for services provided to patients who are not on Medicaid or Medicare (Part A or C) shall not increase more than 1.5 times the Medicare Payment Update for the service in that fiscal year.” What this means is for five years after the final approval of the merger, WakeMed would tie its prices to what the federal government pays hospitals for

Here are the best-rated nursing homes in the Triangle, according to US News

Most seniors want to spend their remaining years in their homes. But, for many, that’s not always possible. People over the age of 65 are one of the fastest growing demographics in North Carolina, and some will need to rely on nursing homes, assisted living facilities and other senior care centers for help as they age. In 88 North Carolina counties, there are more people over the age of 60 than there are people under the age of 18, according to state data. U.S. News and World Report released its 2027 ratings of the best nursing homes on Tuesday, Nov. 10, with 78 nursing homes in North Carolina among the top of the 403 nursing homes rated by the company. Nursing homes, sometimes called skilled nursing homes, provide 24-hour medical care for long-term or short-term rehabilitative stays for people who need a high level of medical care. This is often the highest level of medical care a person can receive outside a hospital. Earlier this year, The News & Observer created a complete guide to finding a good senior care facility in the Raleigh area, including options besides nursing homes , checking facility inspections and key figures on local senior
