Novant Health is committed to offering Wilmington residents high quality care that is both affordable and close to home. We believe in the compassionate treatment of the whole person and, with that, all communities.
Years ago, Dr. Lucybeth Nieves-Arriba was told she needed to take a speech class to neutralize her accent and to stop moving her hands when she talks. Now, her patients and coworkers appreciate her honest, straightforward and vivacious personality.
We are dedicated to maintaining existing relationships in Wilmington, including independent physician groups. This is vital as we seek to continue the legacy of excellent care for all and ensure that patient care is at the center of our strategy.
