Abstract:
The first hospital appearing in Edgecombe County was in 1901. Located on the site of the present courthouse, the three story structure was originally called the Pittman Sanitorium and in 1916 became Edgecombe General Hospital. A second hospital opened in 1929, named in memory of Dr. Henry T. Bass. Closing in the 1950s, it had distinction for being the smallest private hospital in the state. Hospital Corp of America purchased Edgecombe General in the 1980s, closing it and building Heritage Hospital across the street in 1985.
