Apex, N.C.-based NC Children’s has received a $25 million gift from Charlotte-based Coca-Cola Consolidated to support the development of its new campus in Apex.
The campus is expected to include a 570-bed, freestanding children’s hospital with more than 100 behavioral health beds and an outpatient center of excellence, according to a Jan. 15 news release shared with Becker’s. It is slated to open in the early 2030s and will offer a range of behavioral health services, including prevention, outpatient, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization and inpatient treatment.
NC Children’s was established in 2025 as a major partnership between Chapel Hill, N.C.-based UNC Health and Durham, N.C.-based Duke Health. The $25 million donation is the first major contribution toward the system’s goal of raising more than $1 billion for the Apex campus, according to the release.
