Major industries in High Point include furniture, textiles, and bus manufacturing. The city’s official slogan is “North Carolina’s International City” due to the semi-annual High Point Furniture Market that attracts 100,000 exhibitors and buyers from around the world. It is home to High Point University, a private Methodist-affiliated institution founded in 1924.
High Point was at the highest point of the 1856 North Carolina Railroad between Charlotte and Goldsboro, where it intersected the 1852 Great Western Plank Road. Its central location and transportation allowed for the delivery of raw materials like cotton and lumber as well as import and export of processed goods, contributing to its early growth. High Point was settled by Europeans, including English Quakers and German immigrants, before 1750, but was not incorporated until 1859. Before it became a major manufacturing center, the most important industries were tobacco, woodworking and textiles. The High Point furniture factory opened in 1889.[11]High Point College was founded in 1924 as a private Methodist-affiliated institution. The college later became a liberal arts university, now with approximately 4,400 undergraduate and graduate students from 51 countries and 46 states.[12]
High Point is the only city in North Carolina that exists within four counties: Davidson, Forsyth, Guilford and Randolph.[18] It also stands within two major watersheds: the Yadkin–Pee Dee to the west and the Cape Fear to the east. Parts of the city rise above 1,000 feet (300 m), making it among the highest cities in North Carolina’s Piedmont.
High Point is bordered by Greensboro to the north, Jamestown to the northeast, and Archdale to the southeast. The city limits of Trinity and Thomasville come within half a mile of High Point’s city limits to the south and southwest, respectively.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 58.43 square miles (151.3 km2), of which 56.91 square miles (147.4 km2) is land and 1.52 square miles (3.9 km2) (2.60%) is water.[6]
High Point experiences a humid subtropical climate. Summers are hot and humid, and the dew points will often climb to near or even above 70 °F (21 °C) by late June through much of August. Nights usually remain warm above 70 degrees. Most summers the hottest day will record a maximum between 96 and 98 °F (36 and 37 °C). About once every 5 to 10 years the city will climb to or above 100 °F (38 °C). Winters are cool to cold. Nights average near 30 °F (−1 °C), with the coldest averages in the upper 20s from late December through early February. Most winters the coldest temperature will dip to between 10 and 15 °F (−12 and −9 °C). About once every 10 years the minimum will dip below 5 °F (−15 °C) and to near or below 0 °F (−18 °C) approximately once every 20 years. Daytime highs average near 50 °F (10 °C) in the winter, with the coldest stretch between late December through early February with highs averaging in the upper 40s. Most winters there will be 2 to 4 days that remain below freezing. The hottest temperature on record for the area was 103 °F (39 °C) on August 18, 1988 (in nearby Greensboro the high reached 104 °F (40 °C) in 1914), and the coldest was −8 °F (−22 °C) on January 21, 1985.
Rainfall patterns are generally spread evenly throughout the year, with between seven and eleven wet days per month. The city averages around 43 inches (1,100 mm) of rain per year. Snowfall varies from year to year, with most years totaling less than 5 inches (13 cm). However, there are some years that exceed 20 inches (51 cm), and this brings the overall average to more than 8 inches (20 cm) per year. In the winter of 1959/60 the city had just over 30 inches (76 cm) of snowfall, which stands as the most dating back to the start of snowfall record-keeping in 1928. In addition to snowfall, some years the city can be impacted by significant ice storms. Cold air wedging up on the east side of the mountains can lock this part of the state into cold air while warmer moist air moves in aloft. This proximity to the mountains creates what is known as the Appalachian Wedge and can produce crippling ice storms.
High Point was one of several communities affected by a 2010 tornado outbreak. The twister reached its most powerful EF3 classification as it crossed the northern suburbs of the city.
In 1989, High Point sustained minor wind damage from Hurricane Hugo as it raced through the western Piedmont region of North Carolina after making landfall 5 hours away in Charleston, South Carolina.

HIPAA Compliance and Faxing in Healthcare: Ensuring Secure Communication with Cloud-Based Fax Services
In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, maintaining the highest standards of patient data security is paramount. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets rigorous standards for safeguarding sensitive patient information. One critical aspect of HIPAA compliance in healthcare is secure communication, and this is where cloud-based fax services play a pivotal role.
Cloud-Based Fax Services for Healthcare
Healthcare institutions, from small clinics to large hospitals, rely on secure and efficient communication methods to transmit patient records, prescriptions, lab results, and more. Traditional fax machines, once the norm, are increasingly being replaced by online faxing solutions, and for good reason.
The Advantages of Cloud-Based Fax Services
Secure Document Transmission: Cloud-based fax services employ advanced encryption and security protocols to ensure that patient data remains confidential during transmission. This is especially crucial in a world where data breaches are a constant concern.
HIPAA-Compliant Fax Services: HIPAA compliance is non-negotiable in healthcare. Reputable cloud-based fax providers offer HIPAA-compliant fax services that meet the strict requirements for protecting patient information. This includes encryption, access controls, and secure storage of faxed documents.
Efficiency and Convenience: Internet fax services streamline the faxing process. Healthcare professionals can send and receive faxes directly from their computers or mobile devices, reducing the need for physical paperwork and manual faxing.
Why Cloud-Based Faxing Matters in Healthcare
Imagine a scenario where a physician needs to quickly share a patient’s medical history with a specialist across town. With cloud-based fax services, this can be done securely and efficiently. The secure online faxing solutions allow for immediate transmission, saving valuable time in critical situations.
Choosing the Right Cloud-Based Fax Service for Healthcare
When considering cloud-based fax services for healthcare, it’s essential to evaluate providers carefully. Look for services that offer:
Robust encryption and security measures.
Compliance with HIPAA regulations.
Secure and user-friendly interfaces.
Reliable customer support to address any concerns promptly.
Conclusion
In the healthcare industry, protecting patient information isn’t just a best practice; it’s a legal requirement. Cloud-based fax services offer a HIPAA-compliant solution for secure document transmission, enhancing the efficiency and security of healthcare communication.
As healthcare providers navigate the complex terrain of patient data management, embracing cloud-based fax services is a crucial step toward achieving HIPAA compliance and ensuring the privacy and security of patient information.
