Hi! We are thinking about moving from South Carolina some day and relocate north. What is the major and number one hospital in Wilmington NC? We are almost near total retirement age. Thanks.
BTW. Does anyone know about Jacksonville? I am a military and a federal retiree.

I live between Wilmington and Jacksonville. Wilmington has New Hanover Regional, and Jacksonville has Onslow Memorial. Both are decent, but New Hanover Regional is probably better with more specialities.
I had outpatient cataract surgery at New Hanover's surgical center and had excellent care.
For really specialized care or experimental therapy, people go to Duke or UNC.
New Hanover is a Level 1 trauma center with all the fixins.
"It performed nearly at the level of nationally ranked U.S. News Best Hospitals in 1 adult specialty. It scored high in patient safety, demonstrating commitment to reducing accidents and medical mistakes. New Hanover Regional Medical Center has 692 beds. The hospital had 36,683 admissions in the latest year for which data are available. It performed 10,123 annual inpatient and 17,204 outpatient surgeries. Its emergency room had 120,765 visits."
New Hanover Regional Medical Center is tops............They also have a women's & Children's hospital on campus, as well as the Zimmer Cancer center. Both are staffed with first rate doctors, nurses and lab services, as well as everything in between.
