UNC Health Johnston: A Legacy of Care and Growth

Since 1951, UNC Health Johnston has expanded its team, locations and delivery
systems to help meet the evolving needs of the greater Johnston County region.

Since 1951, UNC Health Johnston has expanded its team, locations and delivery
systems to help meet the evolving needs of the greater Johnston County region.
UNC Health Johnston has a more than 70-year legacy of serving and growing alongside
our community. What began as a single hospital in Smithfield, has expanded into
a fully integrated health care delivery system serving the greater Johnston County
community. 

We pride ourselves on our innovative health care delivery systems to reach people in
our community with a variety of backgrounds and resources. By providing education
and care to all who need it, our team of more than 2,300 employees works every day
toward our mission of improving the health of the people in our communities. 

To increase access to expert care close to home, our teams have multiple locations
and means to reach our residents. Our two hospitals, based in Smithfield and Clayton, offer a wide variety of services, including emergency care, behavioral health and hospice care as well as general and robot-assisted surgery, imaging, and specialties such as cardiology, orthopedics and urology.

For community members in need of outpatient care, Johnston Medical Mall offers easy
access to a variety of services including oncology, wound care and cardiopulmonary
rehabilitation, and primary-care practices. The mall is anchored by HealthQuest Fitness
and the Wellness Center.

For those in need of family, primary and special care providers, our partners at UNC
Physicians Network have recruited more than 20 providers to local practices. Our team
and partners at UNC Rex have worked together to add providers in areas such as
radiation oncology, heart and vascular, gastroenterology and general surgery, as well
as physician coverage that includes hospitalists and specialists. 

Through our WellnessWorks corporate outreach program, we offer employees flu shots,
health screenings and nutritional education programs on site at local businesses. 
And for our neighbors on the go, our Mobile Outreach Unit, funded by the Johnston
Health Foundation and Duke Endowment, offers free health screenings and tele-health
clinics. Our mobile unit is also a part of project CATCH (Community Access for Teen
and Child Behavioral Health) and is an access point for virtual behavioral health and
psychiatric services to children and adolescents. 

Our award-winning team is dedicated to making sure you get the care you need and the
compassion you deserve. During the past several years, our teams have received
numerous national awards in patient safety, heart attack treatment and coronary
intervention.

Our hospitals are accredited chest pain and primary stroke centers, which means our
emergency departments have the training, experience and technology to quickly detect
and treat symptoms of stroke and heart attack. In addition, our teams are accredited
and acknowledged for their expertise in surgery, vascular testing and cancer care and
treatment.

UNC Health Johnston strives to be the employer of choice in the region, offering a wide
range of health care careers in settings with advanced technology, talented and
supportive leaders and a welcoming, team-oriented culture.

UNC Health Johnston is here to provide expert care as well as career opportunities,
close to home at one of our many locations.
