UNC Hospitals

UNC Hospitals (formerly North Carolina Memorial Hospital) is a not-for profit hospital located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

It was organized in 1952 as the medical school of the University of North Carolina. In 1989 the North Carolina General Assembly reorganized the hospital and specialty clinics, naming them UNC Hospitals, bringing them under state control.

Today UNC Hospitals is a 708 bed medical center and is one of three level I referral centers for the triangle region of North Carolina (the others being Duke University Medical Center in nearby Durham and Wake Medical Center in the capital city of Raleigh, 30 miles southeast of Chapel Hill).

Construction of the North Carolina Cancer Hospital was begun in October 2005 to expand upon the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center. Upon completion in 2009, the hospital will provide 50 inpatient beds in addition to outpatient clinics.
