Rocky Mount's health-care community provides high quality, comprehensive care allowing area citizens to receive major treatment locally without traveling long distances for many medical issues. The services are continually being expanded to better serve the area's needs. Growing partnerships are also strengthening health care in our area with major agreements between Nash Health Care Systems, the Boice-Willis Clinic and University Health Systems of Eastern Carolina in Greenville, NC, which will see a new heart center on the Nash Health Care campus with Boice-Willis Clinic physicians providing the services. In addition, a partnership between Nash Health Care and Boice-Willis has brought Nash County's only open MRI in a freestanding facility beside the Boice-Willis Clinic. All medical facilities have joined the movement toward offering the latest in medical technology with the addition of electronic medical records system.
