Series Note: Every day at Atrium Health, we have the pleasure of serving our communities across the Carolinas – more than 31,750 patient encounters in fact, across all our facilities. And each day, we have the opportunity of meeting and caring for some of the most heartening patients that help us improve health, elevate hope and advance healing – for all.
As the year comes to a close, we wanted to take some time to reflect on some of our most inspiring patients – children. They may be small in stature but their joy, bravery and perseverance lifted our spirits time and time again.
