While full implementation of the new name will take nearly two years, changes to the signage at hospital and care locations will begin at the end of this year and into early next year. As a first step, the organization introduced the Atrium Health name to more than 65,000 employees on Wednesday, including more than 3,000 physicians and 16,000 nurses and other care providers. Temporary signage will begin to appear at care locations, and advertisements will immediately begin to carry the new name to help ensure patients and local communities know about the name change. Patients will also see updates on their statements and wellness education materials over the next several months.

While the system name may change, the heart of who they are will remain the same, and patients will continue to receive the compassionate and world-class care they have come to expect.
