What if learning a skill in just a few minutes could help save a life?

That’s the idea behind CPR World Record Day, a statewide effort focused on teaching hands‑only CPR to as many people as possible in a single day. This year, an estimated 30,000 people participated across North Carolina.

Sudden cardiac arrest can happen anywhere, and survival often depends on how quickly someone nearby begins chest compressions.

Teammates, patients, caregivers and community members came together at Atrium Health Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute to learn this lifesaving skill—helping expand CPR awareness and preparedness across our region. When more people know CPR, more lives can be saved. ❤️

What if the hospital could come to you? No long commutes or waiting rooms – just expert care when you need it most.

Atrium Health is proud to be part of a research project developing first-of-its-kind hospital hubs dedicated to providing acute and cancer care in rural communities across the Charlotte region. As a leader in mobile, virtual, and home‑based care – we are excited to lead this project - supported by our large Hospital at Home footprint, deep oncology expertise, and broad regional reach.

Recently, our teammates got a chance to get a look inside a prototype as we work to build and develop these units to meet the needs of our patients. This pioneering initiative is part of the federally funded PARADIGM project working to make care more accessible and we’re proud to be part of it. Stay tuned for updates as we work to build and deploy these hospital hubs!

From the moment Jennifer first observed a labor and delivery unit, she knew she had found her calling.

“I always knew I wanted to be in the nursing field,” she said. “After observing on a labor unit, I knew it was where I was meant to be. I love supporting moms through one of the most exciting days of their lives.”

Her path to Atrium Health Lake Norman was guided by someone she already admired — her manager, Kaleigh.

“I had the pleasure of working with her at Atrium Health Cabarrus, and when I found out she was going to be the manager here, I knew I wanted to be a part of her team,” Jennifer said. “I also think it’s really exciting helping build a hospital from the ground up.”

Jennifer describes the unit culture as supportive and collaborative. With a smaller team, she feels everyone truly knows one another and contributes in meaningful ways.

“During busy shifts, we rely so heavily on support from every teammate,” she said. “Everyone’s role is important and helps us provide safe, amazing care to our patients.”

Atrium Health has also helped Jennifer grow professionally.

“Through Atrium Health, I’ve been encouraged to grow not only in clinical skills but leadership skills as well,” she said. “I’m one of the charge nurses at Lake Norman and have been so supported in growing in that role. The opportunities are endless at Atrium.”

And if she had to give one reason to join Atrium Health Lake Norman?

“We are such a tight-knit group and don’t go a single shift without laughing,” she said. “This team makes the hard shifts so much easier, and I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else.”

Darryl says a stranger in the crowd saved his life. When the wellness entrepreneur took the stage at a festival in 2024, he had no idea someone in the audience would become what he now calls his “angel”. She pointed out a lump in his neck, an interaction that ultimately led to a diagnosis he never expected.

After a biopsy of the mass, doctors at Atrium Health Levine Cancer diagnosed Darryl with stage II papillary thyroid cancer. The tumor was the size of a peach. With lymph node involvement, time mattered and Darryl placed his trust in surgical oncologist Dr. Zvonimir Milas and the expert endocrine cancer team. He underwent successful surgery to remove the tumor and is now cancer-free.

Growing up, Darryl watched his father battle diabetes, shaping his lifelong commitment to health, resilience and community. That passion led him to launch a wellness platform encouraging students and organizations to care for their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

Now, after facing cancer head-on, Darryl’s purpose is stronger than ever.

“I want to encourage Black men to go to the doctor,” he says. “ It’s important to take your health seriously.”

Advocate Health's strong partnerships with the military and longstanding support for its veteran teammates have benefitted the health system, the military and ultimately patients.

A new white paper, entitled “Bedside to Battlefield: Advocate Health’s National Strategy for Serving Country and Community,” details the health system’s existing work on this front.

“From my experience of growing up on military bases, I witnessed firsthand the discipline, unity and shared purpose that define our armed forces,” said Eugene A. Woods, CEO of Advocate Health, wrote in the report’s foreword. “Those experiences shaped me deeply. They instilled a lifelong respect for the sacrifices our service members make — and has fueled my personal commitment to ensuring they receive the very best care, both in uniform and as veterans.”

When atrial fibrillation (AFib) strikes, misfiring electrical signals disrupt your heart’s natural rhythm.

Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) is a newer approach designed to treat AFib with less invasiveness and faster recovery. Instead of heat or freezing, PFA uses short, targeted electrical pulses to treat only the heart cells causing AFib—while protecting surrounding tissue.

For many people, PFA means better control of AFib and a faster return to life, family and the things they love.
