WakeMed Health & Hospitals

WakeMed Health & Hospitals is the health system that has cared for Wake County since 1961, and it is the leading provider of health services in the county. It runs hospitals, physician practices and emergency care across the region.

Alongside treatment, the system puts weight on wellness services and community outreach, working from the idea that people manage their own health better with help doing it. For most of Raleigh, some part of WakeMed is the nearest option when something goes wrong, whether that is an emergency room or a family doctor.
