"Atrium Health Navicent works with community partners to address the factors that impact the health of individuals and families, including food insecurity. Many people have been adversely affected by COVID-19 through lost work and lost wages. This is an opportunity for our teammates to show they are aware of and address the needs of our patients and community. By joining with our partners, our hope is to be able to address nonclinical healthcare needs," said Kerisia Wasztyl, manager of Healthy Communities, Atrium Health Navicent.
Due to novel coronavirus (COVID-19) safety precautions, this is a drive through event. Recipients may not walk up.
