CMC-Union president Mike Lutes was quoted by the news publication saying that the sharpened focus on women’s and children’s services comes as more young families choose to call Union County home.

Lutes added: "What we really want to do is meet the growing needs of Union County."

CMC-Union also collaborated with Carolinas HealthCare’s Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte, in a bid to offer additional paediatric services.

The hospital signed a contract with the children’s hospital in 2013 for paediatric hospitalist services.
