Martin Memorial Hospital, which was located on Gilmer and Cherry streets in Mount Airy, was founded by Dr. Moir S. Martin in 1915. The small hospital, which housed 75 beds, was destroyed by fire in 1953. That year, voters approved a referendum to create the Northern Regional Hospital and the Martin Memorial School of Nursing.
Due to increased community transmission of Influenza and COVID-19, Northern Regional Hospital is implementing visitor restrictions. Masks are optional for visitors; however strongly encouraged.
Visitor Restrictions Include: Visitors should postpone their visit if they have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, a cough, sore throat, and/or a fever of 100 degrees or higher. Visitors should be free of symptoms and fever at least 24 hours. If visitors are actively coughing, but have no other symptoms, they are encouraged to wear a mask. Children aged 12 and under are encouraged to stay home. Thank you for your understanding.
