Atrium Health

Across North Carolina, health systems are racing to build, expand and stake out new territory. What's driving the frenzy? And will patients be better off?

Over the past four years, the number of alcohol-related visits to hospital emergency departments in Mecklenburg County has risen each year, with more than 10,000 visits projected this year.

Atrium Health is committing $340 million over five years to expand access to behavioral healthcare across the Charlotte region.

A Wake County Superior Court judge denied the State Health Plan's request for a temporary restraining order against Atrium's proposed plan to charge state employees less for services.

The five-year sunset of price caps draws criticism. Atrium deal for WakeMed still needs approval from the North Carolina Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission.

On a 5-2 vote, the board approved changes to WakeMed's articles of incorporation and a transfer agreement. The Federal Trade Commission will have to approve the deal before it becomes final.

Part of one of Charlotte's popular greenways will close temporarily starting today.

Every other Wednesday, Atrium Health physicians spend three hours at a homeless encampment in Charlotte. They provide care to those who don’t have easy access to a doctor’s office or emergency room.

A new project in Charlotte is underway with the goal of bridging the gap to health care for people living outdoors.

Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles announces her resignation, the state Senate votes to pause property tax assessments for a year, Wake County delays a vote on the merger of Atrium Health with WakeMed, and the PGA is back in town.
