Sarah Moore has only been on the job at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center for around three months. The registered nurse moved back to North Carolina, with her family, during the pandemic. When you deal with this every single day and especially in the beginning, it s tiring, it s difficult, said Moore.
That s why Moore chose to join CFVMC to bring some support to a depleted and thinly stretched staff.

FAYETTEVILLE Cape Fear Valley Health broke ground today on a state-of-the-art education and research center for medical residency programs that will benefit Campbell University medical students for generations to come.
The Center for Medical Education & Research and Neuroscience Institute will span five floors and 120,000 square feet and will include lecture halls, classrooms and simulations labs to provide resident medical students with hands-on, applied learning with sophisticated technology, CPVH CEO Mike Nagowski said. The facility is expected to open in summer 2022.
“This new building will radically increase the number of patients we can serve, the quality of care they receive and ultimately, add significant numbers of new doctors to our region,” Nagowski said.
Cape Fear Valley Health system needs nurses, and it s willing to pay them.
The system wants to increase the number of nurses it hires by 20% this year because of COVID-19, with the hope of hiring as many as 100 nurses in the next two months.
A national nursing shortage is making it hard for hospitals to care for patients with the disease, which is caused by a highly infectious coronavirus.
More than 100 COVID-19 patients were in Cape Fear Valley Medical Center on Thursday, including 11 in the intensive care unit, a hospital spokeswoman said. Nearly 4,000 North Carolina residents are hospitalized with the disease, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services website.
