US EditionNorth Carolina’s First Standalone Children’s Hospital Set to Bring 8,000 Jobs to a Raleigh Suburb
APEX, NORTH CAROLINA, JUL 10 – The $3 billion hospital will include a 500-bed facility and create about 8,000 jobs, supported by nearly $855 million in state funding, transforming western Wake County's economy.
- North Carolina Children's Health announced Thursday that the state's first standalone children's hospital will be built in Apex, projected to create about 8,000 jobs.
- Following the January partnership announcement, UNC Health and Duke Health secured a $319.7 million state pledge credited to Senate Pro Tem Phil Berger, driving the project forward.
- Specifically, a 230-acre site at U.S. 1 and N.C. 540 in Apex will host the hospital, integrated into Veridea’s mixed-use development with major highway access.
- The project is expected to create about 8,000 jobs in Apex and Wake County, boosting local development, including hotels, shops, and a new Wake Tech campus.
- Groundbreaking is scheduled for 2027, with six years of construction ahead, but funding remains uncertain and may require alternative sources if federal Medicaid payments are cut.
