Watauga County Schools and Healthcare

When you move permanently to a new place, you will more than likely be interested in the types of schools and hospitals in the area - especially if you have children, are older or have specific needs. Watauga County North Carolina serves as a central hub for the Blue Ridge Mountain region that surrounds the area and the hospital and schools in Watauga County NC are considered to be some of the best in the region. This small and close-knit region prides itself on recruiting outstanding teachers, many of whom are trained at Appalachian State University, a nationally recognized education and teacher training university located in town. Appalachian began as a state teachers' school back in the late 1800s, and that tradition remains as the school turns out quite a few education majors that seek to teach the area's students. As a consequence, the schools in the area routinely perform higher than average on national testing analysis, and Watauga High School has an excellent graduation rate.

The main hospital in the county is Watauga Memorial Hospital. Watauga Memorial is a part of the larger Appalachian Regional Healthcare System that manages and oversees the business operations of several hospitals in this mountain region. Blowing Rock Hospital is also a hospital located in the county; however, Watauga Memorial Hospital provides most of the healthcare services and emergency services in the area, although Blowing Rock Hospital does have a small emergency center. Watauga Memorial Hospital is the largest hospital in Watauga, Ashe and Alleghany Counties, and is also one of the top employers in the town of Boone NC. It has 117 beds and includes newly renovated wings and special areas such as the Seby B Jones Regional Cancer Center, the Paul H. Broyhill Wellness and Rehabilitation Center, the Scott Mallard Kidney Dialysis Center and the Sanger Cardiology Clinic. Your healthcare will be in very good hands when you trust the doctors and professional staff at Watauga Memorial Hospital.
