UNC Health Nash celebrates new medical office building in Nashville
The dedication of what is going to be UNC Health Family Medicine at Nashville occurred was a festive occasion Wednesday morning for the Nash County seat. The exact opening of the location, which is in a new area of Nashville, is pending the installation of internet service, but the location, once ready, is going to expand primary care capacity and support the evolving health care needs of Nashville and the central part of Nash County. The location, which is off Red Oak Road and just north of the busy interchange with U.S. 64, was built at a cost of $12 million. The dedication featured remarks by Rocky Mount-based UNC Health Nash President and CEO Lee Isley, who told a gathering inside that the new Nashville location and that a new $20 million primary care building at Middlesex, which was dedicated on Aug. 4, were both paid for with cash reserves. Isley said that means that no money had to be borrowed to pay for constructing the two medical office buildings. “And that’s quite a feat,” Isley said. He commended UNC Health Nash’s governing board of commissioners for being good financial stewards. The new Nashville location is nearly 16,400 square feet.
