Blue Ridge HealthCare is a family of providers working together to improve the delivery of health care services to Burke and surrounding communities. Grace and Valdese Hospitals came together as Blue Ridge Healthcare in 1999 offering residents access to a broader network of physicians and services as well as the efficiencies of a single management and delivery system. Located in the foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina there is a growing multi-hospital system looking for leading physician specialists.

Blue Ridge Healthcare has a medical staff of over 130 physicians representing 25 specialties.  Burke County, a family oriented community of 90,000, offers its professionals a wonderful quality of life. Golf, tennis, hunting, fishing, skiing, hiking, the Blue Ridge Parkway,  excellent schools and housing values are a few of the amenities our community has to offer. Our community offers all the professional challenges of a "big city" medical center with the atmosphere of a small neighborly community.
