History

Alamance Regional Medical Center roots began in 1916 with the opening of Rainey Hospital on U.S. 70 east of Burlington. This hospital was renamed Alamance General Hospital, Inc., in 1937.[2] A new 100-bed facility would open in 1961 under the name Alamance Memorial Hospital.[3]

Alamance County Hospital opened in 1951 on Graham-Hopedale Road. This hospital was operated by Alamance County until turning private in the 1980s.

The two hospitals remained separate until their boards jointly passed a resolution in 1986 making them subsidiaries of Alamance Health Services.[4] The two outdated facilities were combined into one with the opening of Alamance Regional Medical Center in 1995.

Awards

In 2012 and 2013, Alamance Regional Medical Center received the Most Wired Award from the American Hospital Association for its use of information technology in patient care.[5]
