The Triad is growing rapidly with more retirees and families calling Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point “home.” Some come for the weather, while others move here to be close to family or for a new job. And once people settle in, they need healthcare.
Novant Health is a thriving not-for-profit healthcare system headquartered here in Winston-Salem, providing care across North and South Carolina within our 19 hospitals and more than 850 outpatient locations.
The healthcare system’s 40,000 team members are committed to offering leading-edge, comprehensive, compassionate care close to where people live and work — including here in Winston-Salem, home to the system’s largest hospital, Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center and Novant Health Medical Park Hospital, as well as Novant Health Clemmons Medical Center, Novant Health Kernersville Medical Center and Novant Health Thomasville Medical Center.
Good health starts with a visit to a primary care physician.
Safety and experience are the foundation
When it comes to safety and patient experience, Novant Health’s hospitals are known for outperforming the majority of hospitals nationwide. In fact, Novant Health was awarded the most A’s for patient safety in North Carolina from The Leapfrog Group, a national, industry-leading nonprofit, evaluates more than 30 national performance measures to assess hospital outcomes.
Heart care
One in five deaths is caused by heart disease, America’s leading killer, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Novant Health holds a top national ranking for heart surgery, due in part to its team approach to care. Physicians work directly with a patient’s primary care provider and cardiologist throughout treatment, said interventional cardiologist Robert Preli, MD of Novant Health Cardiology in Winston-Salem.
“Patients get the benefit of cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons collaborating across specialties and with a patient’s referring physician to ensure the best options and treatments,” said Dr. Preli. “Patients truly get to know their providers and develop a relationship with us during their journey.”
So whether an individual experiences a sudden heart attack, has a chronic heart condition or needs the latest minimally invasive treatment for Afib or other heart condition, Novant Health has experts in the community.
