Iredell Davis Behavioral Health

Iredell Davis Behavioral Health has 42 inpatient psychiatric beds and provides a much-needed service throughout North Carolina and the country. In 2022, 68 counties in North Carolina admitted patients to Davis for behavioral health needs.

“We recognize the critical need for behavioral health services in our area — and throughout all of North Carolina — and will strive to be a part of the solution for this crisis on a local level with Davis,” said Green, noting that adding other healthcare services to the facility may also be considered in the future. “As Iredell County continues to grow, healthcare needs will also evolve. This is an important investment in our community and allows us to continue to expand with those needs. We look forward to continuing to care for our community for many years to come while giving our citizens the opportunity to remain local to get the healthcare they need and deserve.”

Davis Regional first began in 1920, when Dr. James Davis returned to Statesville after serving in the U.S. Army. Ownership periodically changed over time. It transitioned from an acute care hospital to a behavioral health facility in the fall of 2022.

Iredell Health System was created in 1952 by a group of citizens who envisioned a hospital dedicated to the wellbeing of the community. Their vision paved the way for Iredell Memorial Hospital, a nonprofit organization, to open its doors on May 1, 1954. Over the last seven decades, the hospital has grown into a thriving health system providing comprehensive healthcare to Iredell and surrounding counties, with multiple campuses and other offsite locations. Throughout the ever-evolving healthcare landscape, Iredell Health System has adapted and led the way in Iredell County, investing in the latest technology and implementing the programs and services that the community has needed.

“We are excited to bring these two Statesville traditions together as one single healthcare entity. Doing so will provide more comprehensive, local healthcare with the combined expertise – totaling over 170 years – of both organizations,” said Green.
