Atrium Health Foundation

Atrium Health Foundation Atrium Health Foundation serves as the primary point of contact for all charitable contributions to Atrium Health in the Charlotte area. Cannon Research Center.

Since 1959, Atrium Health Foundation has steadfastly pursued a single goal: to advance health-related issues, programs and services in the Carolinas that ensure a better quality of life for all. With a long and distinguished record of succeeding in making that vision a reality, Atrium Health Foundation provides significant financial support for programs and services within Atrium Health, including

facilities such as Levine Cancer Institute, Levine Children’s Hospital, Carolinas Medical Center, and the James G. Today, multiple programs and services throughout Atrium Health are being supported or significantly enhanced by philanthropy. Children’s programs, new cardiac initiatives, neurosciences research, and behavioral health programs are just a few of the important areas upon which we are focused. Philanthropy can substantially enhance these programs and services; and in some cases, it is the primary means to create and sustain a program or service. Innovations and philanthropic leadership have helped to support the establishment of numerous facilities and programs that have substantially enhanced services provided by Atrium Health including Levine Children’s Hospital, Ricky Hendrick Centers for Intensive Care, Levine Cancer Institute, Blumenthal Infusion Center, Carolinas Neuromuscular/ALS-MDA Center, Torrence E. Hemby, Jr. Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Center, Hemby Pediatric Trauma Institute, F. H. Sammy Ross Trauma Center, Mattei Institute for Treatment of Chronic Disease, McColl-Lockwood Laboratory for Muscular Dystrophy Research, and many more. These facilities and programs serve thousands of patients from all walks of life. Atrium Health Foundation has grown from an organization that raised less than $500,000 per year in the late 1980s, to one that now regularly raises $15 to $25 million per year. From 2004-2007, CHF conducted one of the largest capital campaigns in the history of Charlotte, raising over $65 million from the community for the construction and equipping of Levine Children’s Hospital. Every year, thousands of generous people are doing great things on our behalf. In fact, our Foundation receives support from more than 2,500 events and activities annually. Whether large or small, these efforts collectively make a tremendous impact. It is encouraging to watch what can happen when a community pulls together to support excellence in healthcare. Thanks to each and every one of our donors, we are making a difference in the lives of people in the Carolinas each and every day.

Atrium Health nurses took the national stage and brought home new skills to strengthen care across the region.

Through support from the Atrium Health Nursing Fund, Greater Charlotte nurse leaders attended the American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL) Annual Conference in Chicago, exploring topics ranging from artificial intelligence in health care to more human-centered leadership practices.

The team presented on psychological safety in care teams, earning a standing ovation for their message on inclusive, trust-driven leadership. Since returning, they have already been invited to present this work in multiple settings, with growing interest in formal publication.

“I see firsthand how opportunities like AONL shape our nurse leaders, and I’m so grateful to our donors for making that possible for our team,” shared conference speaker Stephanie O’Bryon, director of patient care services at Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center, Atrium Health Mercy, and Atrium Health South Park Adult Emergency Departments.

At Atrium Health Union, nurse manager Anthony Carnes and the cardiac team are piloting artificial intelligence to reduce documentation burden and give nurses more time to focus on what matters most: their patients. The hospital was among the first in the nation to implement an ambient listening tool within its medical record system.

By securely capturing key details from patient conversations — such as symptoms, pain levels, and clinical observations — the technology allows nurses to stay present at the bedside while ensuring accurate records.

Last fall, the ANCC - American Nurses Credentialing Center recognized this work with the ANCC Pathway Award®, sponsored by Press Ganey. Now, the $100,000 grant is supporting efforts to strengthen nurse training and ultimately expand the program.
