Villages at Brunswick Forest also offers laboratory, imaging and diagnostic care services, along with convenient care services, she said.

“For many years, we’ve been serving the needs of Brunswick County residents. Our location in the Villages at Brunswick Forest will now give us the opportunity to bring that care closer to home,” John Gizdic, NHRMC vice president of strategic planning/business development, said in a prepared statement.

“This is a great match between Brunswick Forest and New Hanover Regional Medical Center, and we’re delighted to provide these services for area residents,” Gizdic said.
