Generational Impact

Setting a new course for medical care in Southeastern North Carolina, Methodist University and Cape Fear Valley Health announced a new partnership in 2023 with the intent to establish a new, state-of-the-art medical school located on the Cape Fear Valley Medical Center campus in Fayetteville, N.C. The partnership between MU and Cape Fear Valley Health will create opportunities for students to learn in a collaborative and innovative environment, and impact generations of patients to come. Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
