Located in Greenville, the fast-growing cultural hub of eastern North Carolina, Vidant Medical Center is the heart of the Vidant Health system. We have more than 900 licensed beds and are proud to offer extensive inpatient and outpatient services to more than 1.4 million people across 29 counties.
Vidant Medical Center is the third largest Level I Trauma Center in the nation and serves as the flagship teaching hospital for the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. We are a tertiary care referral center and designated Magnet hospital. Our thousands of dedicated health care professionals include specialists from all over the country and around the world.
Every day, we work to improve patient outcomes through groundbreaking research, innovative technologies and award-winning programs and services at our state-of-the-art facilities. Putting patients first is more than a goal here — it’s a way of life. That’s why we continue to be recognized nationally for our patient- and family-centered approach to care, and why we’re the ultimate regional resource for comprehensive health services and clinical expertise.
Vidant Medical Center is one of four hospitals east of I-95 to be certified as a Primary Stroke Center by the Joint Commission, the organization that sets standards for and accredits hospitals in the United States. This designation means that we have the trained staff and dedicated resources to care for anyone suffering from stroke. It's also a sign of our commitment to improve our patients' outcomes.
Stroke treatment is fast at Vidant Medical Center. At the first sign of trouble, we call a "code stroke" and our stroke response team begins immediate care. We also give patients a clot-busting drug to treat a certain type of stroke called ischemic. This drug, called tPA, is the only FDA-approved medication for ischemic stroke.
