Hurricane Florence threatened much of the region’s water supply. Because of the Brunswick Novant Medical Center Foundation’s location and limited access to vendor-provided and other external potable water sources, the hospital’s leadership determined that an emergency/continuous-use water system is the surest safeguard for patient health and sustainability of essential public medical services in the event of a municipal water outage. Golden LEAF disaster recovery grant funds will be used to enable installation of a backup water well on the hospital’s campus.
