North Carolina's largest health system with 40,000 staff across clinical, research, and education
UNC Health operates a 10,000+ person nonprofit health system spanning patient care, medical education, and translational research across North Carolina. The tech stack reflects clinical-operations maturity (Epic, Cerner, PACS, Workday, Oracle) paired with emerging surgical automation (da Vinci robotics). Hiring is heavily weighted toward clinical roles (1,360 of 1,523 open positions), with active projects focused on cardiology transition, advanced care delivery, and compliance—suggesting operational transformation rather than technology-first strategy.
Notable leadership hires: Family Medicine Director, Medical Director, Utilization Management Director, Security Director, Chief Medical Officer
