Roanoke-Chowan Hospital

Roanoke-Chowan Hospital is a hospital located in Ahoskie, North Carolina. It is a part of the University Health Systems of Eastern Carolina (UHSEC).

After his death, his son, James Bertram Early, Sr., completed the transaction donating the land. In 1948, the hospital was the first to use the Hill-Burton Act for construction.

UHSEC took over management in 1997.[1] The hospital has 86 general and 28 psychiatric hospital beds. It also has five Shared Inpatient/Ambulatory Surgery, one C-Section, and one Endoscopy operating rooms.[2]
