Over the past two weeks, we’ve had the privilege of connecting with communities across Wake County — and beyond — through a series of Community Forums focused on the proposed strategic combination between WakeMed and Atrium Health. 💙

These conversations provided an opportunity to share information, answer questions and hear directly from the people who matter most — our community.

Thank you to our facilitators, community leaders, Board members, patients, families and caregivers who joined us and shared their perspectives. Your trust, engagement and continued support of WakeMed and our caregivers inspire us every day. ✨

Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten that damages the small intestine. Managing it means following a strict gluten-free diet — every bite matters. 💛
