History
The hospital opened to patients on October 3, 1976, as Durham County General Hospital, replacing the smaller Lincoln and Watts Hospitals, which closed on the same date.
In 1998, an agreement with Duke University Health System was signed and the two officially began a 20-year partnership.
On November 6, 2012, one patient was killed and three others were slightly injured in a fire on the sixth floor of the hospital.
On July 1, 2013, Durham Regional Hospital officially changed its name to Duke Regional Hospital as part of a marketing plan to rebrand its image.
