Governor Josh Stein, Garner, and Wake County Community Come Together for WakeMed Whole Health Campus Ground Breaking

Town of Garner officials joined WakeMed, along with state and national leaders, to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new WakeMed Mental Health and Well-Being Hospital, a key part of the future WakeMed Whole Health Campus in Garner. The project marks a major milestone in expanding access to comprehensive medical and mental health care for the community.

The campus will be located on approximately 56 acres at the intersection of White Oak Road and Timber Drive East in Garner. It will be part of a larger 226-acre mixed-use community made up of residences and businesses with a healthy living focus, being developed by Wycliff Development.

Once complete, the campus will include a 150-bed mental health hospital and a 45-bed acute care hospital, made possible through collaboration among WakeMed, the Town of Garner, Wake County, the state of North Carolina and community partners.

Alongside $6 million in federal funding, $6 million from Wake County and an additional $6 million from the state of North Carolina, nearly $35 million in community support has been raised to date through the Courage to Confront Crisis Campaign, which has a $50 million goal.

We are proud to see this investment in health and well-being take root right here in Garner, strengthening our community and the region for years to come.
