CEDAR MOUNTAIN NEWS FOR CHRISTMAS DAY 2025

Dear All

Please look at the letter below and do two things:

1) Sign up!

2) Send to as many others as you can.

Even if I have asked you in person as I have run into you around town, please sign up now. This investment by Pardee in Brevard is tremendous news for us all. Help us sign up as many others as you can.

Thanks so much!

Please help us welcome UNC PARDEE HEALTH to Transylvania County!

Dear Friends, Colleagues and Neighbors,

I’m writing to personally invite you to join me in welcoming UNC Pardee Health to Transylvania County!

We are forming a new group called Friends of Pardee Hospital, and I hope you’ll be part of it.

To join, please go to https://pardeehospitalfoundation.org/get-involved/friends-transylvania/

Access to excellent health care is something we all value deeply. With all the changes in Transylvania County over the past several years, maintaining that access has been a challenge. That’s why I’m especially excited about the new 30,000 square-foot Pardee Health facility now under construction in College Plaza, right across from Brevard College. This is a major investment by Pardee in our community. Scheduled to open in late January or early February 2026, the new facility will bring:

 Primary care physicians

 Rotating specialty surgeons

 Cancer care, OB/GYN, Infusion and other essential services

 A 2000 square-foot state-of-the-art pharmacy (with a drive-thru window) that will offer lower pricing on over-the-counter medications like Tylenol and many others.

By joining Friends of Pardee Hospital, you’ll simply receive occasional updates about Pardee’s expansion into Transylvania County — including details on the new services coming to Brevard. You’ll also likely be invited to tour the facility before or around Opening Day. This is an exciting moment for all of us who live and work in Transylvania County. Pardee’s arrival will be a tremendous boost to the health and well-being of our community.

 Please join me in welcoming Pardee Hospital to Transylvania County!

Thank you, Mark Weinstein
