Mountain Community Health Partnership (MCHP), a leading healthcare provider in Mitchell and Yancey Counties, announces the acquisition of 105 acres for its expansion project. The newly acquired land will be the future site of an integrated health clinic providing expanded primary care, behavioral health, and dental services and will serve as MCHP’s headquarters.
Anticipated to break ground later this year, the 20,000-square-foot building will mark a significant milestone in MCHP’s commitment to providing exceptional healthcare services. The expansion will enhance MCHP’s capacity to serve the community’s growing needs and contribute to the overall improvement of healthcare infrastructure in the region.
MCHP expresses its deepest gratitude to the Thomas H. Phillips family. Their decision to sell the land to MCHP has laid the foundation for a project that will positively impact the lives of many.
MCHP extends a special thank you to Senator Ralph Hise and Representative Dudley Greene for their unwavering support for this project in the NC General Assembly, which has been instrumental in advancing MCHP’s vision. “Healthcare access is one of the most pressing issues North Carolina faces today. The MCHP Spruce Pine Expansion comes at a perfect time, and we were able to secure a state partnership for the project from available healthcare infrastructure funds. I applaud MCHP for their work serving the communities of Mitchell and Yancey counties,” stated Senator Ralph Hise.
Furthermore, MCHP acknowledges the support received from individuals and organizations including Bill Slagle of the Economic Development Partnership of NC and Dogwood Health Trust. Their continued commitment and collaboration have played a key role.
Finally, MCHP expresses gratitude to the Town of Spruce Pine, Mitchell County Government, and Mitchell County Economic Development Commission for their steadfast support. The collective efforts of these local entities have been integral in navigating the complexities of the expansion process and ensuring its success.
As MCHP’s staff and healthcare providers look forward to breaking ground, they remain dedicated to offering high-quality healthcare services and positively impacting the communities of Mitchell and Yancey Counties in western North Carolina.
