↑ 28%Hyundai Hope on Wheels strengthens spiritual care at Atrium Health Levine Children's cancer & blood disorders. September 23, 2026 | By Atrium Health Foundation | In Contributor News Atrium Health Levine Children's has been awarded a $100,000 Impact Grant from Hyundai Hope on Wheels(R) to enhance whole-person care for children and adolescents facing cancer. The investment will support spiritual care services that help patients, families, and care teams navigate the challenges that often accompany a cancer diagnosis. Childhood cancer affects more than a patient's physical health. Children and families may have difficult questions about identity, beliefs, relationships, and the future. Spiritual care offers a space to explore those questions, process difficult emotions, and identify sources of meaning and strength. At Atrium Health Levine Children's, spiritual care is an integral part of the multidisciplinary approach to pediatric cancer care. "Our work is rooted in the belief that whole-person care can transform lives, and spiritual care is an essential part of that commitment," said Dr. Jennifer Pope, director of supportive medicine for Pediatric Hematology and Oncology at Atrium Health Levine Children's. "With the support of Hyundai Hope on Wheels, we can help close a critical gap by embedding dedicated spiritual care across the cancer journey. This investment will help us better support patients, families, and care teams as they make meaning of the realities of a cancer diagnosis, process distress, and build practical strategies that foster resilience, healing, and hope." Helping deliver that care is Amanda White, a pediatric chaplain at Atrium Health Levine Children's whose position is supported by the Hyundai Hope on Wheels Impact Grant. As a member of the pediatric cancer care team, White provides individualized support that reflects each family's unique needs, values, and culture. She also serves the healthcare professionals who care for children with cancer to help them process grief and reconnect with their sense of purpose. Layla and Liana, both undergoing treatment for acute lymphocytic leukemia at Atrium Health Levine Children's, joined Dr. Jennifer Pope (center) and chaplain Amanda White (right) at the Hyundai Hope on Wheels Handprint Ceremony on September 22, 2026. "We are deeply grateful to Hyundai Hope on Wheels for advancing pediatric cancer care at Levine Children's," said Helen Kernodle, senior development officer at Atrium Health Foundation. "This partnership continues to help fuel discoveries that bring us closer to better treatments, improved outcomes, and more hope for children facing cancer. Just as importantly, Hyundai is reminding families that an entire community stands beside them on their journey." Hyundai Hope on Wheels is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to finding a cure for childhood cancer. Since its founding in 1998, the organization has provided grants to institutions across the country supporting pediatric cancer research and care. Levine Children's has received $1.3 million in support from Hyundai Hope on Wheels. About Atrium Health Foundation Founded in 1959, Atrium Health Foundation is one of the largest charitable foundations in Charlotte.

Wake commissioners vote 5-2 for Atrium-WakeMed merger. September 22, 2026 The Wake County Board of Commissioners voted 5-2 at its meeting on Monday in favor of the merger between Atrium Health and Wake Med. State Treasurer Brad Briner released a video Tuesday afternoon criticizing the deal. The commissioners voted on the Articles of Incorporation and the Transfer Agreement, but not before protestors disrupted the voting process numerous times and were then escorted out of the room. The more than five-hour meeting included nearly two hours of comments from both supporters and opponents of the merger. Those against it said that the community would lose the type of care they have come to expect from WakeMed, as well as affordability, local accountability, and transparency. Those for the merger said it was a positive step in the right direction, making the Raleigh-area hospital system stronger and helping fund much-needed renovations. County attorneys said that despite the merger, WakeMed will continue to operate as a nonprofit community general hospital. The revised agreement includes the following: * Atrium Health will invest $2 billion over the next 15 years, a change from the original agreement, in an effort to modernize and expand WakeMed's facilities, including upgrades to WakeMed's Raleigh Campus on New Bern Avenue. The revision specifies that Atrium, rather than WakeMed, will fully fund the investment. * Atrium will also pay $15 million a year over the next 10 years for the new Wake County Whole Health Program, which will focus on addressing access to affordable care, mental health, placement of foster youth in crisis, supportive housing, homelessness, food insecurity, senior healthcare, and other issues. * WakeMed will increase its minimum annual indigent-care commitment from 4.8% to 8% of adjusted revenue. * Eight of WakeMed's 14 board members will be appointed by Wake County commissioners and must reside in Wake County. The remaining six will be appointed by Atrium. * Price increases will be capped at no more than 1.5 times the annual increase in Medicare costs for the next five years. * Debt collection practices, including their reporting, will not be as stringent. * Atrium will be named as a third-party beneficiary under the Transfer Agreement. * Atrium will have the right to dismiss WakeMed's CEO. Some changes were made to the agreement last week after Democratic Gov. Josh Stein sent a letter to Atrium and WakeMed on Sept. 17, according to a press release he issued on Sunday. Commissioners who were in favor said that WakeMed needed the partnership with Atrium to support the necessary upgrades and that initiatives like the Wake County Whole Health Program would be a true benefit to the community. District 4 Commissioner Susan Evans, one of the commissioners who voted in favor of the merger, said that although she was very pleased with the agreement, she had concerns about Atrium having the right to dismiss WakeMed's CEO. "I will say that one of the things I was concerned about was understanding that Atrium would have the ability to unilaterally dismiss the WakeMed CEO, and that made me uncomfortable," she said. But after talking with numerous people, including former corporate CEOs and the county manager, she said she had to accept that the agreement made sense in this environment. The two commissioners who voted no - Tara Waters of District 5 and Vickie Adamson of District 7 - voiced their concerns about the agreement and the process. Waters said she was concerned that many could not attend the meeting to voice their concerns because of the 2pm start time and the fact that it was Yom Kippur, which is considered the holiest day for people of the Jewish faith, a concern that was repeated several times earlier in the meeting. "I feel like today will go down in history as a very sad day in Wake County, when we turned our taxpayer-built community hospital over to a corporate conglomerate," Adamson said. "We were initially told what the agreement was, and after having to go to the press and throw a public fit, I finally got to see it. And it was very different than what we had been told." She said she also spoke with people who said Atrium hasn't lived up to its promises. Additionally, she said she felt the process was rushed and not how the commissioners normally do business as a board, adding that she was trying to process documents she had received on Thursday. "This is all about raising prices," Adamson said. "I can't vote for it." Board Chair Don Mial, who represents District 1, said the merger would make WakeMed stronger and shape healthcare for years to come. A joint statement from Atrium and WakeMed said that over the past few months, officials spent countless hours listening to county leaders, community organizations, faith leaders, employees, care providers, and residents who wanted to understand what this combination would mean for Wake County. "Through it all, one thing was clear: people care deeply about WakeMed, its caregivers, its patients, and the future of this community," the release said. "We greatly appreciate everyone who took part in that conversation and helped make it stronger." The organizations said the vote "brings us to the next chapter of the process, and important work remains ahead... We recognize that trust is earned, and our focus now is to follow through on what we've outlined, continuing to listen to the community and demonstrating, through our actions, the value this combination will create for the people of Wake County and beyond." Gov. Josh Stein also released a statement after the vote. "Today the commission voted to approve the Atrium-WakeMed merger," he said. "I thank the commissioners for their work on patients' behalf, and I am pleased that Atrium and WakeMed agreed to my request to protect families by capping price increases at WakeMed for the next five years. Now that the commission has voted, I welcome the Attorney General's review of the proposed transaction and his office's independent assessment of it." The merger has been controversial since it was announced this past spring. Talks between the two hospital systems began in 2022, when WakeMed put out a request for proposal (RFP) looking for a partnership in oncology. According to Dr. Thad McDonald, chairman of the board for WakeMed, Atrium was the only system that replied, noting that WakeMed is "almost a mirror image" of Atrium. "In January of 2024, this concept of a combination was presented to the executive committee of the board," he said. "Our initial response as an executive committee was much the same as some of you here and members of the community: What? Give up our autonomy? We've always been fiercely proud of our independence; however, looking at the future of health care and especially the challenges facing safety net hospitals like ours, we felt it would be irresponsible not to give it vigorous due diligence." Advocate Health, the health system that includes Atrium, resulted from the merger of Advocate Aurora Health and Atrium Health in December 2022. In May, state Treasurer Brad Briner, among others, voiced his concerns about the proposal. "There is a simple business principle that when suppliers consolidate and competition is reduced, it is the consumers who suffer," Briner said in a prepared statement. "This has been proven to be true time and again in the health care landscape, where prices continue to rise and patients are left with mounting medical debt." In his video message on Tuesday, the treasurer said he remains profoundly concerned about the deal, adding that nothing has fundamentally changed from the original proposal, and that WakeMed's CEO, Donald Gintzig, said in an interview last week he hoped costs would go up if the merger went through. Briner also said it will make it harder for Stein's Health Care Affordability Commission, of which he is co-chair, to be successful, and it will make it even harder to keep the State Health Plan and other employer plans solvent. He is calling for North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson, along with federal regulators, to conduct a thorough assessment of prices, competition, and access, and that it isn't too late to back away from the deal. Tom Friedman, executive administrator of the State Health Plan (SHP), said at SHP board meeting in June that Atrium is anywhere from 15-40% more expensive in aggregate than WakeMed, and if WakeMed were to apply those rates based on State Health Plan utilization, it would be on average between $7-$11 more per member per month. The merger still needs approval from the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice before it can be completed. Topics on this page.
Wake County commissioners voted 5-2 to approve a merger between Atrium Health and WakeMed following months of negotiations. The agreement includes capping price increases at WakeMed for five years at no more than 1.5 times the annual increase in Medicare costs, creating a $150 million community fund, and granting Wake County access to financial information. Atrium Health committed to investing $2 billion in WakeMed over 15 years. Wake County will appoint eight board members, whilst Atrium will appoint six. The decision faced opposition from patients, state employees, and advocacy groups who argued the merger would increase healthcare costs. Deputies cleared the public from the room before the vote after disruptions. The deal now requires regulatory review by the Attorney General's office.
Wake County commissioners green-light wakemed-atrium merger. After four months of public deliberation and some additional concessions from the state's largest hospital system, commissioners voted 5-2 for changes that will allow the deal to go through. In a 5-2 vote Monday evening, the Wake County Board of Commissioners gave its blessing for a $2 billion merger between WakeMed and the state's largest hospital system, Atrium Health. The vote allows the systems to amend WakeMed's articles of incorporation and governing documents to transfer control away from the county commissioners to a 14-member board that both Atrium and county leaders would select. Board of Commissioners Chair Don Mial asked sheriffs' deputies to clear the chamber before the vote after spectators, some of whom had been watching for more than five hours, became disruptive. "I believe my vote protects WakeMed's legacy," said Commissioner Safiyah Jackson before giving an affirmative vote to the merger. "It protects our most vulnerable neighbors, and it guarantees great care for our children and grandchildren." WakeMed announced late last week that it had secured a revised agreement with Atrium that brings an additional $150 million to the county over the next decade. The agreement increases WakeMed's requirement for providing indigent care to a minimum of 8% of its annual adjusted revenue, gives commissioners more control over board appointees, and gives Atrium less power to change WakeMed's governing documents. The revised agreement also firms up the language around the $2 billion in capital expenditures that Atrium intends to make in Wake County over the next 10 years, which includes half a billion dollars to WakeMed's flagship campus in Southeast Raleigh and funding for a new Whole Health Campus that includes a 150-bed mental health hospital in Garner. Before the vote, Commissioner Cheryl Stallings praised the changes in the deal. "We have worked diligently over the past couple of weeks to secure a stronger agreement," Stallings said. "The $2 billion in capital investments will be coming from Atrium, and not WakeMed. There are sound financial assistance policies in place that have already been presented."
Atrium Health Union West's expansion to increase acute care capacity, enhance emergency care access. 09.11.2026 Atrium Health News Expected to open in fall 2028, the project will expand access to hospital and emergency care for the region's growing population. CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 10, 2026 - Atrium Health, which is part of Advocate Health, recently broke ground on a new patient tower at Atrium Health Union West. The major expansion will significantly increase the hospital's capacity by bringing additional inpatient, emergency and procedural services closer to home for residents of Union and southeastern Mecklenburg counties. The $116 million investment will add more than 67,000 square feet to the hospital, creating capacity for 88 new patient rooms, expanding the emergency department with 11 new bays, adding an endoscopy room and a procedure room, and enhancing access to imaging, ancillary, and support services through additional assets and infrastructure. "Union County and the surrounding areas continue to grow at an extraordinary pace, and our community deserves access to high-quality care close to home," said Seth Goldwire, president of Atrium Health Union West and Atrium Health Anson. "Not long ago, many residents had to leave the area for hospital care. Today, patients and families can access a wide range of services much closer to where they live. This expansion will help us care for more patients, expand critical services and ensure more families can get the care they need without traveling far from home." Since opening in February 2022, Atrium Health Union West has offered maternity, emergency, surgical, imaging, laboratory and pharmacy services to residents of Matthews, Union County and neighboring communities. The hospital has served more than 200,000 patients since opening and has seen patient visits increase by 127%, reflecting the community's growing reliance on local healthcare services. "As both a nurse and a longtime Union County resident, I've seen how important it is for patients and families to have access to care close to home," said Missy Baker, chief nursing officer at Atrium Health Union West, Atrium Health Union and Atrium Health Anson. "Whether someone is facing a medical emergency, welcoming a new baby or managing a serious illness, being able to receive care close to their family and support system can make a meaningful difference. This investment in our community's health will help ensure more people can access the high-quality care they need close to home for years to come." Atrium Health is partnering with DPR Construction on the project, which is expected to open in fall 2028. Photos available here. About Atrium Health.
