UNC Health Johnston has successfully secured approval to expand its Clayton facility with an additional 12 beds. This decision, a reversal by the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services following an appeal, aims to enhance healthcare accessibility in Johnston County. CEO Tom Williams announced that planning is in full swing, with financial proposals set for review soon and construction anticipated to start by next fall. This expansion is expected to meet growing local healthcare needs effectively, with renovations at the Smithfield location also planned following the completion of the Clayton project.
