Bertie Memorial Hospital is a critical access hospital located in Windsor, North Carolina. It is a part of ECU Health. The original hospital opened in 1952 with Hill-Burton Act funding. It is a three-story, masonry, International Style building with a flat roof.[1] It closed temporarily in 1985 and underwent several turnovers in management. Vidant Health (renamed ECU Health in 2022) took over management in 1998 and provided money for a new hospital in September 2001. The hospital was the first in the nation constructed according to Critical Access Hospital standards. The federal Office of Rural Health Policy has designated it a national model for Critical Access Hospital construction. The hospital concentrates on same-day services.[2] It has six general hospital beds.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
