School Partners
At Atrium Health Floyd, we believe students learn best when they are well. They are more likely to choose to live in our communities and become leaders here when they have a solid educational base that is connected to employers and business leaders.
As the Official Health Care Partner of local schools, colleges and universities in our community, Atrium Health Floyd has invested more than $7 million in both public and private schools, with the goals of improving and maintaining the health of young learners and creating educational and career pathways for students in our community.
Students, their families and school faculty and staff directly benefit from a wide range of Atrium Health Floyd services, programs and resources as a result of these partnerships.
