Scotland Health Care System's nursing professionals have been caring for the people of Scotland County and surrounding areas for over seventy five years.

Scotland Health Care System is growing as evidenced by the recent expansion of our Emergency Center and renovations to our Surgical Wing and Women's Services Center.
