The ribbon cutting ceremony included remarks by Governor Roy Cooper and LtGen Walter E. Gaskin, USMC (Ret.), Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, Congresswoman Kathy Manning, and Kathleen Banks, NCSHV Administrator.
“North Carolina is the most military and veteran friendly state in the nation, and we owe a deep debt of gratitude to the brave men and women who have served our country,” said Governor Cooper. “This facility will provide critical health care and rehabilitation services for our veterans as they transition to civilian life and beyond.”
At full capacity, the more than 100 thousand square foot facility will provide 120 private rooms and baths, 24-hour nursing, physical and aquatic therapy, occupational and speech therapy, medication management, dietetic programming, nourishment care, activity programming, and more.
