GREENVILLE, N.C. (9/26/08) – A new East Carolina University Family Medicine Center will triple the space available to see patients and train the next generation of family doctors to serve North Carolina.
That was the message as university officials, legislators and others broke ground for the new facility on the campus of the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University on a sunny fall Friday.
A growing need for primary care in the region has made it necessary to upgrade the current facility which serves more than twice the amount of patients it was built for.
David Brody, vice chairman of the ECU board of trustees, said five committees have planned a new center over the years, but funding never appeared.
