​​​​​​Caring for Students, Staff

​Atrium Health Floyd Corporate Health works​ with school systems in northwest Georgia to provide services that improve the health and well-being of students and staff members. Our programs can help ensure they can get needed care during school hours. We also train school staff members to respond appropriately should an emergency arise. We hope that doesn't happen, but we can prepare them if it does.

​Our Partnerships

​Atrium Health Corporate Health has established partnerships with public schools, private schools, colleges and universities throughout northwest Georgia. These partnerships are based on the needs of the schools, and we can customize our services.​
