“This remarkable recognition, which Atrium Health Levine Children’s has earned every year since opening its doors – is a reflection of our incredible teammates and their deep commitment to caring for our smallest of patients and their families,” Ken Haynes, president of Advocate Health’s southeast region, which Atrium Health is a part, said. “As a parent of four myself, I know that the health and safety of our children is the top priority. This honor not only demonstrates that our care teams deliver the best and safest treatment options in the country, but it also emphasizes what makes Levine Children’s stand out among the rest – the warm, personal and unwavering approach our teammates provide for every patient experience. And of course, this award would not be possible without our amazing donors – including the Levine family. We are deeply grateful for their continual contribution to our North Carolina community and beyond.”
