Rome, Ga.-based Harbin Clinic, a private physician group, has joined Rome, Ga.-based Atrium Health Floyd, a health system part of Charlotte, N.C.-based Advocate Health.
Governance and decision-making will be shared between the two parties through the guidance of a board that comprises Harbin Clinic physicians and legacy board members from Floyd Healthcare Management, which joined Atrium in 2021, according to an April 15 news release.
"Harbin Clinic has always been physician-led, and that will not change," Kenna Stock, CEO of Harbin Clinic, said in the release. "Just as they always have, Harbin Clinic physicians will continue to have a voice in local healthcare decisions impacting the patients we serve."
Atrium Health Floyd comprises three hospitals, a primary care and urgent care network with multiple locations, a freestanding behavioral health facility, and over 3,829 employees across more than 40 specialties, according to its website.
