I know I speak for many Advocate Health teammates when I share that our hearts are heavy as we witness the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. While our facilities in the Southeast experienced some minor disruptions, including power loss, leaks and delayed openings, we are grateful that most have been quickly addressed.    However, our commitment extends far beyond our walls. We are currently working as part of a healthcare preparedness coalition with other health systems, lending our support to the hardest-hit areas – especially in western North Carolina – where entire towns are still submerged. Despite roadblocks and flooding from the storm, we have already evacuated over 70 patients (and counting) from impacted areas by ambulance, plane and helicopter and have transported them for care to our hospitals in Charlotte and Winston-Salem. We have also deployed our MED-1 advanced mobile hospital to the western part of the state and will be expanding our hospital at home program to provide critical and life-saving care for those who need it most. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families who have lost loved ones and the many who remain missing. We know the road to recovery will be long, but together, we stand ready to support our communities as they rebuild and heal.

As we continue to witness the destruction caused by Hurricane Helene and the aftermath of the storm, our hearts are heavy for the loss of life and the devasted communities. We are keeping those impacted top of mind and have initiated support. Our mobile medicine teams have made dozens of trips to transport patients and deliver supplies – via our Atrium Health MedCenter Air and Wake Forest Baptist AirCare air ambulance teams, as well as with our ambulances on the ground. We expect our MED-1 mobile hospital to be deployed to provide much-needed medical services in the disaster area. Additionally, Atrium Health Georgia EMS is assisting with search and rescue missions, transporting patients and answering emergency calls. Our organization and our teammates are committed to providing immediate and long-term disaster response and recovery for our communities.
