Alamance Regional Medical Center reports pending appeal in Certificate of Need for Mebane expansion
Summary
The president of Alamance Regional Medical Center told commissioners the hospital expects an appeal to its Certificate of Need (CON) for expanding services into the Mebane area and that real work on the project may be delayed several months as the process plays out.
Alamance Regional Medical Center (ARMC) informed the Board of Commissioners Oct. 6 that the hospital is awaiting the outcome of a Certificate of Need (CON) process related to expanding services into the Mebane area.
Chad Buer, introduced as president of Alamance Regional Medical Center, told the board the state issued a decision two weeks earlier but that an opposing applicant is expected to appeal, which would delay implementation "several months." Buer said ARMC remains "excited about the opportunity" to expand its footprint and provide additional wellness services in the Mebane area but would wait for the appeals process to resolve before beginning major work.
Buer also raised a site-access question related to a behavioral-health project, asking whether previously discussed site access from county property into ARMC's parking lot remained under consideration. A county official said the manager would follow up.
No county vote was taken; the remarks were delivered as part of the public-speaker portion of the meeting.
