The UNC Health system, Pardee UNC Health Care has changed its name to UNC Health Pardee, effective today....basically removing PARDEE from the first position in the signage.

In a press release today, President and CEO of UNC Health Pardee says the name change is simply 'rebranding' in the way of a logo style and has nothing to do with the overall way in which Pardee is managed. It does not change the relationship between Pardee and UNC.  Kirby said that Pardee remains a locally owned healthcare facility with the governance and decision-making continuing through a Board of Directors and the Henderson County Board of Commissioners.

In effect, looking at the new logo, it's just a "turn around" of PARDEE and UNC, with UNC HEALTH now being the FIRST NAME, for whatever that means.

“While the rebrand does not change any local operations or the relationship between Pardee and UNC, it is simply the next step in UNC Health’s strategy to create a cohesive health system across the state, demonstrating how we work as one UNC Health to prepare for the future of healthcare,” Kirby said.
