History and Mission
In 1928, Pine Needles Golf Resort Hotel opened and was an exquisite five-story landmark in Southern Pines, with its Jacobean-Tudor architecture and gorgeous views of Pine Needles golf course. The stock market crash of 1929 and subsequent depression closed its doors.
The resort was sold to the Diocese of Raleigh in 1948 and in July of that year the landmark re-opened as St. Joseph of the Pines Hospital, a 75-bed acute care facility that served patients from diverse backgrounds and walks of life. St. Joseph of the Pines also opened a clinic in west Southern Pines that year to serve those without access to private physicians.
In 1967, the Sisters of Providence from Massachusetts assumed management of the hospital and added Home Care services. One year later, SJP shifted its Mission from acute medical care to Long Term Care.
The Sisters acquired land on Camp Easter Road in 1990 and began the development of a Skilled Nursing Community, The Health Center, and a new residential living community, Belle Meade. The Health Center opened in 1996; Belle Meade in 1999. The Coventry assisted living facility opened in 2008 and is located between The Health Center and Belle Meade.
