Kurt, president of Atrium Health Floyd, has dedicated over four decades to transforming health care access across Georgia and northeast Alabama. Recently, he was awarded the prestigious W. Daniel Barker Leadership Award from Georgia Hospital Association for his work in the community.
From reshaping Atrium Health Floyd’s culture and facilities to pioneering Lean Six Sigma practices to streamline processes, Kurt’s leadership has driven more than $200M in improvements. He’s expanded rural care through new hospitals, emergency departments and strategic partnerships.
In 2024 alone, the Atrium Health Floyd-Polk Foundation, established under his guidance, invested $6M in community health initiatives—from virtual care in schools to expanding local YMCA programs.
Through every chapter of his career, Kurt has remained grounded in service—to patients, teammates and the communities Atrium Health Floyd serves. His legacy is one of unwavering dedication, visionary leadership and a deep belief that everyone deserves access to exceptional care, close to home.
