Charlotte’s quality health care facilities and health professionals serve more than one million patients a year. These patients come not only from Mecklenburg County, but also from nearly every other North Carolina county, other U.S. states, and a number of foreign countries, seeking the sophisticated treatment and state-of-the-art medical technology Charlotte-Mecklenburg hospitals provide.

Prominent national and international specialists come to Charlotte to teach, practice and conduct research in such specialties as laser surgery, heart disease, organ transplantation, and orthopedics and spinal cord injuries.
