3 cheers for 20 yEARs! Two decades ago, Dr. Dan Kirse, director of pediatric otolaryngology at Atrium Health Levine Children’s Brenner Children’s Hospital, recognized a need for cochlear implant services for kids in our region. In 2004, the Pediatric Cochlear Implant Program was born. Since the onset of the program, providers have served hundreds of patients. We are so grateful for our ear, nose, and throat providers, audiologists, speech pathologists, and more across Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist who work together to help these kids hear the world around them.

Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist’s Emergency Care Video Visit program has recently expanded across the Carolinas, serving over 1,000 patients in the past three months. This program is an innovative care model that allows patients to schedule a virtual visit with an emergency department provider. Using the innovative platform, 78% of patients avoided unnecessary ED visits, with 59% completing their consultations virtually and 19% being referred for outpatient evaluation. The Emergency Care Video Visit program has helped to provide patients with the reassurance they need to seek the most appropriate care for themselves and their loved ones.
