SRMC FAST FACTS
The history of Southeastern Regional Medical Center dates back to 1906, when Dr. Neil Thompson opened the first hospital in Robeson County. The Thompson Hospital consolidated with the Baker Sanatorium, under the direction of Dr. Horace M. Baker, Sr., to form the Baker-Thompson Memorial Hospital in 1946.
These two older facilities were replaced by a new 140-bed hospital known as Robeson County Memorial Hospital in 1953. On January 1, 1960, the hospital’s name was changed to Southeastern General Hospital to reflect more accurately our service to all southeastern North Carolina.
In 1994, after a number of expansion programs, our facility became Southeastern Regional Medical Center.
As a nonprofit organization, Southeastern is operated by a local board of trustees whose only remuneration is the assurance that they are making available quality health care for their community.
