Health Sciences Campus

A major component of ECU’s mission is to improve the health of North Carolinians throughout the state. We have developed superior programs in all dimensions of understanding human health and delivering services to a dispersed, rural population.

Part of the East Carolina Research and Innovation Campus (ECRIC) is the Health Sciences Campus District, encompassing more than 300 acres and is home to the Brody School of Medicine, College of Allied Health, College of Nursing, and the School of Dental Medicine. Additionally, the Health Sciences Campus District includes centers and institutes of concentrated, multi-disciplinary expertise addressing the region’s most pressing health care issues and disparities, including the East Carolina Obesity and Diabetes Institute. The campus is immediately adjacent to our long-time partner, ECU Health Center (formerly Vidant Health), and the new Durham Veteran Affairs Medical Center facility located to the north across West Fifth Street.
