Pardee Hospital governance shifts to trustees amid market pressures
Henderson County officials approve a governance change transferring Pardee Hospital oversight from the county Board of Commissioners to Pardee trustees and UNC Health Care System. The move aims to shield the 1,225‑employee facility from volatile politics while preserving its long term viability amid a shifting health care landscape. UNC’s growing statewide influence and Mountain region reach are noted as part of the evolving power balance.
