Case for Support
Proceeds from this year’s event will benefit the UNC Health Southeastern Emergency Department. Renovations for the Emergency Department will address critical needs such as improving the time to see a physician, patient safety, privacy, and comfort. The renovations will provide an enhanced patient experience and include a more modern lobby design that will be reflective of our community.
Emergency Services are available 24 hours through our Emergency Department, a 45-bed unit providing Level II emergency medical services. Staffed by emergency physicians and nurses trained in emergency care, this department serves over 60,000 patients of all ages and diagnoses each year with around-the-clock care and specialty consultation including behavioral health patients.
The UNC Health Southeastern Emergency Department is one of the busiest emergency departments in the state; with your support we want to make sure it is one of the most efficient, comfortable, and safest emergency departments in the state.
