CITY AWARDS WORKFORCE PARTNER GRANT TO ADVANCE MEDICAL EDUCATION

In response to the local impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Charlotte recently awarded Atrium Health Foundation a $200,000 grant to expand several healthcare workforce-development programs and initiatives. With this funding, Atrium Health aims to eliminate disparities in healthcare in our community and increase upward career mobility for local high school students and current Atrium Health teammates.

The grant will support three core programs established by Atrium Health: The Rise to Success Program, which provides graduating CMS high school seniors with financial support to pursue their Certified Nurse Aide certification or Associates Degree through local, accredited training programs and colleges; The RN Educational Assistance Program, which provides current nursing students employed by Atrium Health with tuition assistance; and the Education that Works Program, which provides current Atrium Health teammates working in lower wageearning positions and those without college degrees with tuition assistance to earn their Associates Degree.

PINK PINT NIGHT GOES VIRTUAL, BENEFITS LEVINE CANCER INSTITUTE PROJECT PINK

To kick off breast cancer awareness month, Charlotte Radiology partnered with NoDa Brewing Company and numerous community sponsors to host an unforgettable, virtual edition of Pink Pint Night on September 24. Proceeds from NoDa’s specialty pink brew – Gose Pink or Go Home – and beer sampler Host Kit sales, coupled with generous donations and virtual auction bids, made this year’s event a great success. Inspired by breast cancer survivors and fighters across the community who shared their stories in a virtual broadcast emceed by WBTV’s Kristen Hampton, donors to Pink Pint Night gave generously. They raised more than $50,000 to support essential breast cancer screenings provided by Levine Cancer Institute: Project PINK.
