Hospitals across Atrium Health continue to see the devastating effects of the Delta variant on the communities we serve.

In August alone, COVID deaths were higher than the previous 4 months combined, with September COVID deaths on pace to be even higher.

With 97% of COVID patients on life support being unvaccinated, it is clear that vaccines keep people out of the hospital and from dying. For yourself and those around you, please consider getting the COVID vaccine: AtriumHealth.org/COVID19Vaccine.
