The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society awarded a grant of $749,000 to Atrium Health Foundation to support lymphoma research led by Atrium Health Levine Cancer. Researchers are currently testing novel therapeutic findings in 3D lymphoma models to develop targeted therapies that will overcome treatment resistance in Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) and Transformed Follicular Lymphoma (tFL). Conducted in collaboration with Wake Forest University School of Medicine, the study has the potential to make significant advancements in lymphoma treatment. The study is led by Steven Park, MD, vice chair for research in the Department of Hematologic Oncology and Blood Disorders at Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute.
CVS Health has awarded $179,000 for 3 school-based virtual health sites in Rutherford County impacting a total of 1,627 enrolled middle school students. Atrium Health’s School-Based Virtual Care program increases access to comprehensive primary care.
To improve access to care, Atrium Health embedded virtual clinics in local public schools providing medical care to students onsite. With philanthropic support, its school-based virtual care program first launched in Cleveland County during the 2017-18 school year and has since grown to serve over 160 schools across eight counties in North Carolina.
In 2023, the school-based virtual care program completed over 10,000 video visits and comprehensive medical exams for students. The program has been a boon to children, parents, local health systems, and schools, leading to a 32% reduction in preventable emergency department visits; a 50% return-to-classroom rate; and an average, estimated financial benefit to parents of $352 per remote patient visit, due to avoiding lost wages, emergency room copayments, travel costs, and other expenses.
