Blue Ridge Regional Hospital

that patient and family-centered care is the best approach to achieve successful outcomes in healthcare, and the cornerstones of that approach are dignity and respect. Equally important are information sharing, participation, and collaboration. Patients, families, doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals form a partnership that benefits everyone. We define a family member as anyone the patient designates as important. Families are not just visitors; they are essential in patient care and decision-making. Every staff member at Blue Ridge Regional Hospital is dedicated to this approach. We combine patient-centered care with modern medicine, advanced technology, compassion, and care provided by loved ones to reach our ultimate goal—to provide the best care and outcomes for patients. Notice to Patients: No one will be denied access to services due to an inability to pay. There is a discounted/sliding fee schedule available based on family size and income. This also applies to the following clinics: Mission Community Medicine Spruce Pine, Mission Health Mauzy-Phillips Center, Mission My Care Now Spruce Pine, Mission Women’s Care Spruce Pine, Mission Community Surgery Spruce Pine, Mission Community Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Blue Ridge, and Blue Ridge Medical Center - Yancey Campus.
