For New Residents
Setting up care after a move.
Pick a system first. Most local practices belong to Atrium Health or Novant Health, and each system shares records, specialists and patient portals across its own offices. Choosing one makes referrals simpler.
Check your insurance network. Plan networks differ between the two systems and change at enrollment time. Confirm both the practice and the hospital are in network before booking.
Know where to go. Use urgent care for minor illness or injury and the emergency department for anything serious. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
Pediatric care. Pediatric practices fill quickly in fast-growing areas; ask about new-patient availability as soon as your move date is set. The family guide and relocation guide cover the rest of a move checklist.
