Dr Kiehna is wonderful!!!! Facebook comment by Erin O’Malley Schotthoefer To: “Good Health,” p. 62 Well done @AtriumHealth Tweet from @AaronMiri The group that really started the medical school issue was dismissed summarily by your article. It was that group that recommended Wake Forest, when Carolinas Healthcare (now Atrium) refused to cooperate for the betterment of Charlotte. The 2015 recommendation by TrippUmbach was commissioned by this group, who really started the effort in 2005 without a degree of support by Chancellor DuBois at UNCC. Facebook comment by Richard B.
