Welcome to Albemarle Health. We are a regional healthcare resource, serving seven counties in northeastern North Carolina. Albemarle Health offers a wide array of healthcare services, caring professionals, and state of the art technology, linked together from Gates to Dare counties.

Although we have a new website (www.albemarlehealth.org), and a new logo and signage, Albemarle Health's Albemarle Hospital and our affiliates remain part of a not for profit, regional community healthcare provider, governed by the Albemarle Hospital Authority Board of Commissioners.

We offer services to residents in Gates County at Gates Medical Center; in Pasquotank County at Albemarle Hospital and Regional Oncology Center; and in Dare County with Regional Medical Center, and Island Medical Center.

Albemarle Hospital is 182-bed, acute care facility that offers the residents of northeastern North Carolina state of the art care usually not seen in similarly sized community hospitals, including: brain surgery using Stealth Brain-Mapping technology; vascular surgery; small incision surgery; cardiac care including diagnostic catheterizations, and pacemaker implantations; complete diagnostic radiology services including nuclear medicine, MRI, breast MRI, Mobile PET services, CT scans utilizing a 16 slice, 3-D spiral CT scanner, and a PACS digital imaging system; multi-modality cancer treatment, including radiation therapy employing CT simulation for treatment planning, and multi-leaf intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) allowing the delivery of precise doses of high energy radiation to tumors; renal dialysis; Greenlight PVP laser technology, used to treat prostate conditions; mammography services, with digital mammography technology; and fast track emergency service.

Regional Medical Center, located in Kitty Hawk, offers residents and visitors an outpatient surgery center featuring surgical suites equipped to offer everything from breast augmentation to cataract surgery, and a variety of small incision surgery procedures. Regional Medical Center also features a laboratory, diagnostic imaging services, and offices for nearly 50 physicians.

Manteo's Island Medical Center brings primary care to residents of Dare County, including a board certified physician and a family nurse practitioner; and Gates County Medical Center, in Gatesville, features primary care for residents of Gates County through a family practice physician and a physician assistant.

The Regional Oncology Center is a state of the art cancer treatment center located in Elizabeth City, on the campus of Albemarle Hospital. The center brings sophisticated care to patients with all types of cancer, using the latest technology including IMRT and CT simulation.

We also extend our healthcare services to those who need it most, but can't afford to visit a physician. Albemarle Health's Albemarle Hospital Foundation funds and operates Community Care Clinics which offer free primary care, prescriptions, and prescription assistance to our region's growing indigent, uninsured, and underinsured population. We now have clinics in each county of our service area: Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Gates, Pasquotank, and Perquimans counties.

The name Albemarle Health reflects what we've grown to become. We're a regional healthcare system that offers a variety of care and services, educational opportunities, and community outreach to the residents of our seven county service area. We're proud of Albemarle Health, and all it encompasses.

Sincerely,
Sharon M. Tanner
President and Chief Executive Officer
