How this hospital kept neurology care local after losing 2 specialists overnight
When two long-standing neurologists scaled back their hospital involvement, Nash UNC Health Care faced an immediate gap in specialty coverage. Recruitment efforts came up short. Patient transfers to higher levels of care climbed. Care teams absorbed the strain.
