Our hospitals are getting creative in building the future of healthcare! ?? Atrium Health Floyd hosted an awesome event at Polk County College and Career Academy, showing students there's way more to healthcare than "doctor" or "nurse." Atrium Floyd brought representatives from many other fields, including imaging, radiology, rehab, EMS, lab, pharmacy, respiratory therapy, and talent acquisition, showing that healthcare has a role for everyone. ?? #FutureHealthcareHeroes
