Cape Fear Valley Health

What Cape Fear Valley Health does

Cape Fear Valley Health is a private, non-profit regional health system headquartered in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and serving communities across southeastern North Carolina. Founded in 1956 with the opening of Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, it has grown into North Carolina's 8th largest health system, operating 8 hospitals and 150+ locations — including 90+ specialty and primary care clinics, 6 retail pharmacies, a state-of-the-art Simulation Center, and a Neuroscience Institute — staffed by 1,000+ physicians and 5,001-10,000 employees. The system provides comprehensive clinical services across the care continuum: cancer care, heart and vascular, orthopedics and sports medicine, behavioral health (where it is the largest provider in Cumberland County and a six-county region with 35,000 annual office visits), neurology, rheumatology, podiatry, primary care, women's health, weight loss, general and plastic surgery, imaging, and clinical trials.

Underlying technology includes an integrated Epic electronic medical record system across all facilities, a MyChart patient portal, a URAC-accredited specialty pharmacy with EMR-linked provider communication, telehealth services for behavioral health, and a Simulation Center equipped with high-fidelity manikins (Pediatric HAL, Trauma HAL, VICTORIA) and Angio/Arthro Mentor platforms. The system also operates accredited training infrastructure, including a forthcoming Methodist University Cape Fear Valley Health School of Medicine opening in July 2026.

Revenue is generated primarily through patient care services billed to insurance providers including Tricare, Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurers, supplemented by retail and specialty pharmacy transaction fees and community behavioral health services offered on a sliding fee scale. Customer segments span the full population of southeastern North Carolina — from pediatrics to geriatrics — with concentrated institutional partnerships in higher education (Methodist University, Fayetteville State University, Fayetteville Technical Community College, Bladen Community College) and community organizations such as the Puppy Creek Fire Department. Distribution is direct via hospital and clinic network, retail pharmacies open to the public, telehealth/virtual care, and emergency department access without referral.
