MCMS had the opportunity to tour the new Wake Forest University School of Medicine Charlotte campus at The Pearl. This impressive space represents a tremendous investment in the future of medicine, innovation, and education right here in our community. Thank you to the Wake Forest and Atrium Health teams for welcoming us and sharing your vision for the next generation of physicians. We are truly inspired by what’s ahead!

🎉 Celebrating 70 Years of Care Ring! 🎉 Last week's Hob Nob marked an incredible milestone and also celebrated $557 million in donated charges since 2004 through the Physician Reach Out program. We’re especially proud that PRO is one of MCMS’s key initiatives and that it continues to make such a lasting impact on our community.
A huge shoutout to Dr. Klimas, who spearheaded the PRO program and helped make this achievement possible. PRO offers health care to people in need. PRO links patients to a local network of doctors, specialists, dentists, laboratories and hospitals that donate a wide range of services, such as primary care, surgeries, orthopedic, and even cancer care.
