Shorter Wait Times. Better Access. More Local Doctors and Nurses.
At yesterday's Greater Fayetteville Chamber State of the Community event, regional leaders shared exciting updates on how Cumberland County is growing and it’s great news for local Veterans! 🇺🇸
Here is how local investments directly help our Veteran community:
✅ More Local Doctors & Nurses: Fayetteville State University is doubling its nursing program, and Methodist University new medical school is training future doctors right here in our backyard to expand our care team and shortening appointment wait times.
✅ Faster Emergency Response: City and county emergency teams are merging dispatch services into a single 911 system, ensuring faster help during a medical crisis.
✅ Jobs for Transitioning Troops: New defense technology companies coming to Fayetteville give departing Fort Bragg service members great local career opportunities so they can stay rooted in Cumberland County, NC Government
We’re proud to serve the men and women who served us.
