Wesley Long Hospital

Wesley Long Hospital is a 175-bed acute-care facility located in Greensboro, North Carolina. The hospital was founded in 1917 by John Wesley Long, MD, a nationally known physician and surgeon, as a small 20-bed clinic. Today, Wesley Long is a 175-bed modern medical center and home to the Cone Health Cancer Center at Wesley Long. Wesley Long Hospital is a facility of Cone Health, a network of hospitals and physicians serving Guilford County, North Carolina and surrounding areas. On February 24, 1972, Wesley Long's board of trustees approved a 120-bed addition and other improvements to what was then a 225-bed hospital.On April 27, 1981, hospital administrator James Phelps was charged with accepting over half a million dollars in kickbacks during the late 1970s. Phelps, replaced by Ralph Holshouser Jr., pleaded guilty and served five years. The hospital did well for a while until changes in Medicare reimbursement. Wesley Long never recovered from the combination of the scandal and new Medicare rules, with a little over half its beds occupied by 1986. Moses Cone Memorial Hospital went through significant growth, while Wesley Long administrators avoided making many of the advances necessary to attract more patients. Dennis Barry led the hospital through changes that made it more competitive. But by 1996, with just over a third of its beds occupied, Wesley Long needed to either specialize or merge in order to continue doing well. The decision was made to merge with Cone.

Jamieson Stadium

Jamieson Stadium is a stadium located on the campus of Grimsley High School in Greensboro, North Carolina. It opened in 1949 and was constructed largely from private funding sources. It was a dream of -- and named for -- Coach Bob Jamieson, who coached at Greensboro High (later renamed Grimsley) from 1933-1975. The first game played at the stadium was the also the first annual North Carolina Coaches Association's East-West All Star Game, started by Coach Jamieson to help fund the Association's coaching clinic. A plaque at the entrance to the stadium, erected for re-dedication ceremonies honoring Jamieson when he retired in 1975, has these words inscribed on it: "Robert B. Jamieson Stadium, named in honor of Coach Bob, whose dedication and devotion as teacher, coach, athletic director and community leader during the years 1933-75 have forever endeared him to the hearts of his players, students, and the citizens of Greensboro." Wooden bleachers were replaced with aluminum bleachers in 1989 in order to make sure it kept its status as one of the best high school football stadiums in the state. It is primarily used for American football and Soccer, and is the home field of Grimsley High School and Greensboro College. Various sources report the stadium's seating capacity between 10,000-12,000 people. The stadium is horseshoe-shaped with the field house sitting at the open end and two largely symmetrical, slightly curved grandstands with pressboxes stretching from endzone-to-endzone joined together by a grassy hill, also used as a seating area. The 6-lane running track around the field, which was longer than a standard running track, and the shot-put area beyond the southern goalpost was removed in 2013. A small section of the track straightaway behind the field house remains and is used for storage. The original field house remains intact and in apparent use but its condition is unknown. Due to its size and the lack of large outdoor performing venues in the area, the stadium has been used for community events such as the annual 4th of July Fireworks with the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra.
