UNC REX is the only hospital in North Carolina to receive straight 'A' grades since the Leapfrog Group began a national hospital safety scorecard in 2012. In Dec. 2017, UNC REX received a top five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, one of only 337 hospitals nationwide, and the only hospital in the Triangle region to earn that recognition. More than 10 years ago, UNC REX became the first hospital in the Triangle to be awarded Magnet status by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. In 2015, UNC REX was re-designated Magnet status for the third consecutive time. The Magnet Recognition Program recognizes health care organizations for excellence in nursing care. This award puts UNC REX's nurses in an elite group of the top 2 percent of nurses in the nation. UNC REX is one of the largest employers in Wake County, with more than 8,000 co-workers. UNC REX is known for its excellent benefits and is routinely recognized by local and national publications as a "best place to work." In late 2018, UNC Health Care and UNC REX announced plans to increase the living wage for its employees across the Triangle to attract and retain a talented workforce, and reinforce the organization's reputation as a great place to work. The living wage rose to $15 per hour in July 2019 for employees at UNC Medical Center in Chapel Hill, UNC REX in Raleigh, and UNC Physicians Network in the Triangle. Also in late 2018, UNC REX opened a new Food Pantry to support patients and their families who struggle with access to healthy food. The pantry is a partnership between UNC REX, Food Lion and the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. It's one of the first food pantries operated by a community hospital in North Carolina, and one of only a handful across the country. Patients at UNC REX who indicate that they have recently struggled with food access, or who are considered food insecure, are prescribed a visit to the Food Pantry with their hospital discharge paperwork. They will receive a three-day supply of healthy food, enough for a family of four, including fresh produce, staple items and healthy snacks. The UNC REX Food Pantry will also provide nutritional information, healthy recipes from UNC REX's award-winning chefs and dietitians, and a comprehensive list of food banks and other community resources. UNC REX's culinary team has created a chef-based program that has attracted international recognition and reinventing traditional 'hospital food.' They tend an herb and vegetable garden at UNC REX, and use local and fresh ingredients as much as possible. UNC REX was the first hospital in the Southeast to get rid of deep fryers and the chefs continue to explore new ways to cook and serve our cuisine. In March 2017, the UNC REX chefs opened a new Mediterranean-themed, heart healthy restaurant called Kardia in the new North Carolina Heart & Vascular Hospital. In addition, the chefs began offering classes on healthy cooking and eating to patients, their families and members of the community in a new demonstration kitchen. UNC REX performs thousands of heart and vascular procedures a year, including coronary artery bypass grafting, endovascular AAA repair, echocardiography, peripheral vascular ultrasound, valve replacement and repair, angioplasty, cardiac catheterization, minimally invasive structural heart procedures, invasive peripheral vascular interventions, including critical limb ischemia procedures, electrophysiology procedures and stent placement, regardless of patients' ability to pay. UNC REX has been a Chest Pain Accredited hospital for more than a decade, reinforcing the organization's dedication to community outreach and innovation in the care of chest pain patients. The service line also includes open heart surgical suites where physicians perform procedures such as coronary artery bypass grafting, mitral valve replacement and repair, and aortic valve and aortic arch replacements. UNC REX also provides a full range of invasive catheter based cardiac, vascular and electrophysiology procedures. All of the existing heart and vascular services and care, which were provided at more than seven locations across the main hospital in Raleigh, were consolidated into a modern, more efficient and more convenient facility with the March 2017 opening of the North Carolina Heart and Vascular Hospital on UNC REX's main Raleigh campus. This eight-story, 306,000-square-foot hospital provides easier and more comfortable access for patients and their families, physicians and staff, in a facility that's designed to promote healing, prevention, education, innovation and wellness. Our chefs and dietitians regularly hold community healthy cooking demonstrations in a conference space that includes a demonstration kitchen, and have hosted hundreds of participants, including patients and their families. UNC REX Surgery Centers in Raleigh, Cary and Wakefield were used by hundreds of physicians to provide thousands of in- and out-patient surgeries and procedures in FY19. The three locations have improved access to specialized care for patients across the region. Surgeons make substantial use of minimally invasive technology and innovation for diagnosis and treatment, reducing patients' recovery time and hospital stay and supporting quality care. The centers include 38 operating suites, 11 minor procedure rooms, and various perioperative and ancillary support spaces. UNC REX is increasingly performing surgeries on an outpatient basis, and continuing to look for other ways to reduce overall costs for patients. Some of the top procedures include general, orthopedic, gynecologic and ophthalmic surgeries. During the year, thousands of outpatient orthopedic procedures were performed at Raleigh Orthopaedic Surgery Center, UNC REX's joint venture with Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic located about a mile from UNC REX's main Raleigh campus. UNC REX provides a full range of specialized, multi-disciplinary oncology therapy and support services to patients in Wake County and beyond including medical, radiation and surgical oncology. In addition to providing cancer treatments and therapies at five locations in Wake County, the centers offer outreach and support services including nutritional services, nurse navigation, social work, rehabilitation services and survivorship or end of life care. UNC REX Cancer Center also provides oncologic surgical services to cancer patients through access to UNC REX Hospital. UNC REX Cancer Center is accredited by the Commission on Cancer as a Comprehensive Community Cancer Center and works closely with the nationally recognized N.C. Cancer Hospital and the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center in Chapel Hill to extend specialty oncology services and clinical trials to patients in Raleigh. In early 2017, UNC REX Cancer Care began a Patient & Family Advisory Council. It's a group of survivors and other volunteers who visit with cancer patients and families going through treatment to offer support, gather feedback, develop new programs and activities, and more. The goal is to help staff understand ways they could improve the overall patient experience. In late 2018, UNC REX announced plans to build a new, $65 million Cancer Center across the street from our main Raleigh campus. That facility is expected to open in 2021. At UNC REX's Women's Center, caregivers seek to provide family-centered care to the new mother, baby and extended family. Every year, thousands of babies are born at the Women's Center. These births are supported by 24/7 anesthesiology and neonatology services, high risk obstetrics provided by UNC Maternal Fetal Medicine, lactation support services provided by a team of certified lactation consultants and an in-house retail center for infant nutrition. UNC REX also offers a wide variety of pre- and post-natal classes, screening for postpartum depression and psychological services. There are three operating suites for cesarean births and 70 private rooms in which labor, delivery, recovery, and postpartum care of the mother and child normally occur. UNC REX's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is a Level IV designation, allowing UNC REX's team of board certified neonatologists, nurses, respiratory therapists, developmental care team and others to care for even more premature and medically fragile babies. UNC REX's NICU was previously designated Level III. In 2016, Rex also added an Obstetric Emergency Department. The OB ED is staffed 24/7 with a team of OB Hospitalists, nurses and technicians who provide obstetric emergency care in partnership with our community obstetricians. This assures our patients always receive timely obstetric care, not to mention an extra pair of hands when an obstetrician has two deliveries at one time or is managing other urgent patient care needs.UNC REX provided screening mammograms to thousands of women across a 17-county region, including many with no insurance or who are underinsured.
