Atrium Health Provider
Treats Only Children“I chose inpatient pediatrics because I appreciate the variety of patients I get to help take care of. I love helping patients and families through some of their scariest times when they are admitted to a hospital. I love helping them understand what is going on with their child, and then being a part of their team as they improve.”
