AdventHealth Hendersonville is a non-profit hospital campus in Hendersonville, North Carolina owned by AdventHealth.

History

In 1910, Mountain Sanitarium was founded.[2] In 1927, its name was changed to Mountain Sanitarium and Hospital.[2] In 1976, Mountain Sanitarium and Hospital changed its name to Fletcher Hospital.[2] And then Fletcher Hospital changed its name to Park Ridge Hospital.[2] In 1984, Park Ridge Hospital was acquired by Adventist Health System.[3] In late June 2010, Park Ridge Hospital changed its name to Park Ridge Health, due to many of their services not being offered at the hospital.[4]

In 2012, three whistleblowers at Park Ridge Health sued Adventist Health System for fraud. When the lawsuit was filed the United States Department of Justice, Government of North Carolina, Government of Florida, Government of Tennessee and Government of Texas intervened. Adventist Health System agreed to settle the lawsuits for a total of $118.7 million on September 21, 2015.[5][6][7]

On April 6, 2013, Park Ridge Health announced that it would build a medical center in south Asheville, North Carolina at Biltmore Park for $10 million. The four-story, 25,000-square-foot medical center will be close to Interstate 26. It planned on consolidating six locations.[8] On April 9, 2013, Park Ridge Health had a ground breaking ceremony for its medical center.[9][10] On September 4, 2014, their was a grand opening ceremony for Park Ridge Health South Asheville.[11]

On June 20, 2014, Park Ridge Health purchased a movie theater which was vacant for five years and surrounding land for $1.8 million.[12][13] To build a new medical campus to consolidate its physician offices and outpatient services.[12] On December 15, demolition began on the movie theater.[14]

On August 14, 2018, it was announced that Park Ridge Health would be rebranding its name to AdventHealth Hendersonville on January 2, 2019.[15][16]

On October 10, 2023, AdventHealth Hendersonville had a groundbreaking ceremony for a 60,000-square-foot medical office building.[17][18][19]

Services

In late December 2018, Park Ridge Health was awarded a grant from The Duke Endowment for $730,000. It provided funding for the Phoenix Project, to help women who are victims of sexual assault, domestic violence and human trafficking.[20][21]

Controversy

In early August 2023, AdventHealth Hendersonville was fined by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, and by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, for refusing to allow a behaviour therapy patient to see an advocate.[22][23]

Partnerships and sponsorships

In early August 2018, Park Ridge Health created a partnership with Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center to allow their physicians to fill job openings at Park Ridge Health. The partnership was created due to more patients at the hospital.[24][25]

In early July 2023, AdventHealth Hendersonville announced a partnership with Mountain Area Pregnancy Services. At the MAPS location in Asheville, their clients will be able to see an AdventHealth certified nurse-midwife.[26][27] In late October, AdventHealth Hendersonville announced that it was sponsoring the Ecusta Trail.[28][29] The 19.4 miles biking/hiking trail is being constructed on an old railroad track that had been owned by Norfolk Southern Railway between Hendersonville and Brevard, North Carolina.[28][29][30]

Awards and recognitions

AdventHealth Hendersonville has received an "A" grade by the Leapfrog Group sixteen consecutive times.[31][32][33] It was the only hospital in western North Carolina to win the Top General Award in 2021.[34][35] It won the award again in 2022[36][37] and 2023.[38]
