 Our
Mission Today
High Point Regional Health System
today serves a region encompassing 475,000 people. That’s
a far cry from the town of 6,500 that so desperately needed
a hospital in 1904. While our region has certainly grown and
our techniques of caring for the sick only vaguely resemble
the methods of care available to our forefathers, one thing
remains the same: our commitment to care for patients one
at a time.
In today’s high-tech, fast-paced healthcare environment,
High Point Regional sets itself apart by putting patients
first. Our patients’ needs, wants, comfort and satisfaction
drive every decision we make and each action we take. As a
leader in understanding the needs of our region and in providing
exceptional health services to citizens today and for many
generations to come, we embark on our second century of care. |
