Keeping Our Heroes Heart-Healthy

Cardiac events are the number one cause of line-of-duty deaths among firefighters. That’s why Atrium Health Floyd Work Campus Care, Harbin Clinic and the City of Cartersville Fire Department partnered together to offer 58 firefighters the chance to receive a Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) scan

This quick, noninvasive test uses a specialized X-ray to check for calcium buildup in the arteries—an early sign of heart disease. No IV, no hassle—just peace of mind and a plan for prevention.

Special thanks to Digant V. Bhatt, MD, a cardiologist at Harbin Clinic Cartersville, who champions this program to help detect risk before symptoms appear.

The test is recommended for people with risk factors such as age, family history or high cholesterol—even if you feel fine. It requires a physician’s order, so talk to your provider today.

Now, One Team—Atrium Health Floyd and Harbin Clinic—are stronger together for a healthier community.

Expanding access to life-saving care. 🚐🎀

Atrium Health Floyd is proud to grow our mobile mammography program with a second coach — the only mobile mammography service in this region — bringing advanced breast cancer screening to rural northwest Georgia and northeast Alabama.

For 17 years, we’ve traveled more than 111,000 miles, performed more than 35,000 screenings and detected 129 cancers — many that might have gone undiagnosed without this service.

Since its launch, the new coach has already provided 1,704 screening mammograms and diagnosed nine new cancers, proving the power of increased access. Because when it comes to your health, knowledge is power.

This coach offers 3D mammography in a private, comfortable setting and features our Know in 24 results service, so patients receive answers quickly. Based at the Atrium Health Floyd Chattooga Emergency Department in Trion, this unit helps increase access to care where women live and work.

This project was made possible through a congressional spending allocation championed by U.S. Senator John Ossoff.

Inspired by the heartfelt ceremonies she saw online, Atrium Health Floyd nurse Katie wanted to bring that same sense of respect to her community. So, she started the Northwest Georgia Nurse Honor Guard, a group dedicated to celebrating nurses for their years of service.

Today, 25 Floyd nurses have joined the effort, with Katie serving as president. Together, they host ceremonies that honor nurses with timeless traditions: crisp white uniforms, caps, white gloves and a navy cape lined in red satin. Each ceremony includes symbolic touches such as a candle lamp, a white rose and the gentle sound of a triangle chime.

“This is our way of giving back to those who taught us and honoring the care nurses have given to families and communities,” Katie said.

“It’s a beautiful way to recognize their service and let them retire their duties with dignity,” added Guard member Amy.
