Mission applied in March for the CON to move the endoscopy unit from its campus in Asheville to the planned outpatient center in Fletcher, N.C.

 

The proposed move of the endoscopy unit has faced opposition by Hendersonville-based Park Ridge Health and some local physicians.

 

Mission Hospital intends to appeal the CON rejection by the N.C. Division of Health Service Regulation, according to the report.
