FirstHealth of the Carolinas is a private, non-governmental, not-for-profit health care network serving 15 counties in the mid-Carolinas.

FirstHealth of the Carolinas includes three hospitals — one in Richmond County (Richmond Memorial) and one in Montgomery County (Montgomery Memorial) as well as the flagship Moore Regional here in Pinehurst — with a total of 611 licensed beds. In our effort to offer a multi-disciplined continuum of care, we also provide the services of inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs, a skilled nursing facility, three centers for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders, three dental care clinics for underprivileged children, seven family care centers, six health and fitness centers, a laundry, four charitable foundations, a Hospice program, a Home Health program, and critical care transport, EMS and medical transport services. We also have an insurance plan that includes a product that specifically targets the vast numbers of uninsured in our coverage area. These integrated facilities and services make FirstHealth one of the nation’s most comprehensive health care networks.

The three FirstHealth hospitals have an active medical staff of 257. More than 90 percent of these physicians are board certified, many in such specialties as cardiology, neurosurgery, orthopaedics, bariatric surgery and neonatology.

In 2005, Moore Regional Hospital was for the second year in a row named one of the nation’s Top 100 hospitals and a national survey rated its heart, orthopaedic and vascular services among the Top 10 programs in North Carolina.
