About Cleveland Regional Medical Center
Welcome to Cleveland Regional Medical Center (CRMC) where progressive change is anticipated, continual, appreciated and not feared.
Leadership is our passion, shared vision is our strategy and decentralized decision making is our tactic. We believe that our community is entitled to the same level of access, the same level of technology and the same level of compassion as people who live in larger cities and further, we believe it is our mission to serve regardless of one's ability to pay.
CRMC is the main hospital in a three hospital system called the Cleveland County HealthCare System; Kings Mountain Hospital (KMH) and Crawley Memorial Hospital make up the other two acute care facilities.
We are also an integral part of the Carolinas HealthCare System based in Charlotte North Carolina, which is one of the largest not-for-profit healthcare systems in the country.
