World-Class Healthcare in the Triangle

Home to three major medical centers, your health is in good hands in the Triangle.

(Did we mention that Durham is known as the “City of Medicine”?) Durham and Chapel Hill are home to two of the nation’s top medical teaching and research hospitals, and Duke University, respectively, while Raleigh is home to WakeMed Health & Hospitals. In addition, the US Department of Veteran’s Affairs maintains the Durham VA Medical Center.

Not only are residents able to access an impressive range of healthcare services, such as those offered by UNC Healthcare and UNC Rex Hospital, our region is home to a number of medical and health-related companies and medical practices. Durham alone is home to more than 300, making it more than worthy of its monniker.
