Blue Ridge Regional Hospital

Blue Ridge Regional Hospital We exist to identify and respond to the health and wellness needs of the region, partnering with pati That's the plain English version.

Located in the mountain town of Spruce Pine, Blue Ridge Regional Hospital believes that family-centered care is the best approach to meeting our patients’ needs. Continually delivering exceptional care, we understand that it takes a combination of modern medicine and technology, compassionate attention to detail and expertly applied knowledge to reach the best possible medical outcomes. We believe

that patient and family-centered care is the best approach to achieve successful outcomes in healthcare, and the cornerstones of that approach are dignity and respect. Equally important are information sharing, participation, and collaboration. Patients, families, doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals form a partnership that benefits everyone. We define a family member as anyone the patient designates as important. Families are not just visitors; they are essential in patient care and decision-making. Every staff member at Blue Ridge Regional Hospital is dedicated to this approach. We combine patient-centered care with modern medicine, advanced technology, compassion, and care provided by loved ones to reach our ultimate goal—to provide the best care and outcomes for patients. Notice to Patients: No one will be denied access to services due to an inability to pay. There is a discounted/sliding fee schedule available based on family size and income. This also applies to the following clinics: Mission Community Medicine Spruce Pine, Mission Health Mauzy-Phillips Center, Mission My Care Now Spruce Pine, Mission Women’s Care Spruce Pine, Mission Community Surgery Spruce Pine, Mission Community Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Blue Ridge, and Blue Ridge Medical Center - Yancey Campus.

During Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week, Blue Ridge Regional Hospital joins our broader HCA Healthcare network in recognizing the incredible first responders and EMS professionals who answer the call when our community needs care most. 🚑❤️

Each year, approximately 10 million patients receive care in HCA Healthcare emergency rooms. Here in our own community, so many of those patients rely on our outstanding local EMS teams for safe, timely transport to our ER, as well as critical, life-saving care along the way.

We are incredibly proud to partner with these dedicated first responders. To our local EMS teams: thank you for your unwavering skill, courage, and compassion every hour of every day. We deeply value your partnership, your steady support, and the vital role you play in keeping our community healthy and safe.

Please join us in celebrating and thanking our local EMS heroes this week! 👇

Help us congratulate Wendy Allen, RN, from our Infusion Department, for being honored as our latest DAISY Award recipient!

Wendy was nominated by the grateful family member of a recurring patient. When the patient went through a severe, months-long health decline, Wendy didn't just provide excellent care during appointments—she constantly reached out to check on them at home.

Whether she’s greeting patients at the door, making sure they are wrapped in a cozy warm blanket, or walking them safely out to their cars, Wendy treats everyone like family. As her nominee shared: "She is such a delightful nurse with a true light of love for her job that shines bright!"

Thank you, Wendy, for your heart of gold and your incredible dedication to our community! 🌻💛

Drop a 💛 in the comments to congratulate Wendy!

On Clinical Trials Day, we recognize the clinical research professionals and physicians who help advance the future of patient care at Mission Health and across our broader HCA Healthcare network.

The HCA Healthcare Research Institute is the multispecialty clinical research arm of HCA Healthcare focused on advancing therapies for patients through its affiliated network of providers and care sites. Mission Hospital currently has more than 35 active clinical trials under the HCA Healthcare Research Institute, with 25 in cardiac subspecialties, encompassing all aspects of cardiovascular care — from surgical and interventional cardiology to electrophysiology and heart failure.

Thank you to all who make this meaningful work possible and help improve more lives through clinical research.

Do you know if you’re at risk for a ? The good news is that many stroke risk factors are manageable with routine checkups, care and healthy lifestyle choices. Knowing your numbers and talking with your doctor are important first steps.

As a part of our broader HCA Healthcare network of care, we are connected to 45 comprehensive stroke centers, including one at Mission Hospital, as certified by the Joint Commission. Caregivers across our network treat more than 60,000 stroke patients each year. Through the support of HCA Healthcare and the HCA Healthcare Foundation – in collaboration with the American Heart Association’s Getting to the Heart of Stroke™ initiative – we're helping to raise awareness about the connection between heart health and stroke and providing education and resources to our communities.

If you or someone you know suffers a stroke, call 911 immediately. Before you need emergency care, know where to find an ER near you: https://bit.ly/3PpNs7Z
