North Carolina Baptist Hospital is looking to develop a freestanding emergency department in Winston-Salem.

The project is expected to cost around $33 million and be completed in early 2028. It would establish a healthcare facility that is not located inside a hospital that can provide emergency care.

North Carolina Baptist is seeking approval for its proposal from the state Department of Health and Human Services.

A public hearing for the project will be held on Oct. 17 at 10 a.m. at Kernersville Town Hall.
