New Greensboro medical plaza expands access to specialty care
A $163 million Horse Pen Creek Road plaza will open in late July, bringing cardiology, oncology and outpatient surgery closer to northwest Greensboro.
Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist marked the opening of Medical Plaza Northwest Greensboro with a ribbon cutting on June 26 at 2909 Horse Pen Creek Road, and the $163 million project is set to begin seeing patients in late July. The five-story, 134,000-square-foot building is meant to give northwest Greensboro and nearby parts of Guilford County a closer option for specialty care, outpatient surgery and follow-up visits.
The plaza will house cardiology, gastroenterology, general surgery, weight management, orthopedics and oncology, along with an ambulatory surgery center, infusion therapy bays, a pharmacy, imaging and physical therapy. The surgery center includes three operating rooms, two procedure rooms and a dedicated heart and vascular procedure room, creating a larger outpatient footprint than the earlier Horse Pen Creek plan.
Cancer care is a major part of the project. The cancer center at the plaza is tied to its National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, giving Greensboro patients access to specialists, advanced therapies and clinical trials through Atrium Health Levine Cancer and Wake Forest University School of Medicine.
Greensboro Mayor Marikay Abuzuaiter, local leaders and Greensboro Chamber of Commerce members attended the ribbon cutting. Abuzuaiter called the project “a place of healing, hope” and said people will know they can get to health care quickly. Dr. Craig Greven, Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist’s interim president, said the opening reflected a commitment to the communities the system serves, while Dr. Matt Edwards, chief physician executive, said the facility expands access to the full capabilities of the region’s only academic health system.
A specialty appointment, infusion visit or outpatient procedure at Horse Pen Creek Road can happen closer to where many residents live and work in northwest Greensboro.
In November 2022, state officials approved a Greensboro surgery center there as a $30 million project with no more than three procedure rooms and three operating rooms, and it was required to open by October 2024. A separate $262 million community hospital next door is scheduled to open in the first half of 2029.
