Cone Health is active in primary care, cardiology, neuroscience, oncology, orthopedics, rehabilitation, obstetrics and many other specialties.

U.S. News & World Report.[2] listed Cone Health hospitals as a 2022-2023 High Performing Hospital in 17 of 20 common adult procedures and conditions.

In August 2020, Cone Health announced its intent to merge with Sentara Healthcare, though the planned consolidation was later canceled[3] in 2021.
