Atrium Health Provider
Treats Only Adults
“I do my job because I want to help people facing critical illness. As challenging as my field can be, I am motivated by the desire to help patients and families during some of the darkest times of their lives. Providing care to some of the sickest patients is both a challenge and reward.”
