The Mission Pardee Health Campus is moving forward after yesterday’s County Commissioners Meeting. The meeting was cover by multiple media outlets.

From www.blueridgenow.com, “Pardee and Mission hospitals’ proposed health facility on the county line reached another milestone Wednesday after the Henderson County Board of Commissioners gave the OK to move ahead with the project.”

From www.hvillscoop.com, “”I am pleased to say Mission’s leadership has offered the concessions as requested,” Kirby told the board during the afternoon session of their day long meeting, adding that the adjustments had been futher reviewed by both legal counsel for Pardee’s Board of Directors and that of their parent organzation UNC Heath Systems. “We’re excited to see this as a business venture for the town of Fletcher and they feel the same way. I feel it only appropriate that Pardee’s Board of Trustees allow me to sign the memo of understanding next week and that we all move forward with this project.”

Groundbreaking of Health Campus Site

Friday, October 7th, 2011

More than 100 people, including hospital administrators, city and county officials, medical staff and members of the community, were on hand Friday for a celebration that marked the groundbreaking of an innovative healthcare campus, which will be located at 2651 Hendersonville Road in Fletcher. Today’s groundbreaking was the culmination of more than three years of planning. The 80,000-square-foot outpatient facility, on U.S. 25 at the Henderson and Buncombe county line, is expected to open in 2013. It will house clinical services and physician offices and provide patients with easy access, and high-quality, low-cost healthcare to northern Henderson County and Southern Buncombe County.

Here is a quote from Mayor Bill Moore on www.blueridgenow.com, “This shows you the area is growing,” he told the crowd of local leaders, hospital officials and community members.

Improving customer access to health care is important as the town grows, he added, as “This will bring jobs to the area and create jobs.”
